AB - It has almost become a cliché to say that the influence of the smartphone has become more crucial than ever before. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of smartphone usage in Gwangju, Korean adolescents. This study was focused on smartphone addiction, considering that the overuse of the smartphone could result in some serious problems. A total of 1,796 middle and high school students in South Korea completed the structured questionnaire. Around half of responders answered that the first time of smartphone use was 4~6 grades of elementary school; 61.3% of adolescents firstly used smartphone when they were elementary school students. The most frequent time period and area of smartphone use were from 9 pm to 12 am and SNS, respectively. The monthly expense of smartphone use was 30,000~40,000 KRW. The proportion of addicted adolescents was 19.9% (n = 357). Gender and academic achievement were significant factors associated with smartphone addiction; girls were more addicted than boys while students with high academic achievement showed lower addiction than the other students.
