I once heard a psychology teacher say that happiness means dealing with relationships with yourself and with family and friends. When such a relationship has losses and rifts, how can it become happy? More and more people are choosing to live alone. When you are old and feel lonely, will you get care?
If one day, there is a service that can help you make up for the lack and relationships and build the "perfect family", would you be willing to try?
A service agency called "Perfect Family" in South Korea cooperates with professional actors, event planners, funeral services and psychological counseling institutions to provide customers with one-stop customized services to ensure that customers play the role they need in different life scenarios.
Their services include:
▷ Role rental service
In order to achieve a perfect wedding, customers can rent "Dad", "Mom", "Brothers and Sisters", "Friends" to attend the wedding.
Rent a "partner" to attend social events, including family gatherings or parent-teacher meetings for your child.
▷ Communication service
There are always unspeakable situations, such as breaking up, handing out resignation letters, and apologizing to parents or friends. These Challenge Service Ambassadors can all be executed on behalf of the client.
▷ Family member services
Want to experience life with children? Looking for a family trip?
The consultant will arrange for you to take a day baby; arrange for the "family" to go on a trip with you.
▷ Friend service
You will arrange a friend who will talk to you and listen to your complaints; you can also choose like-minded "friends" to shop together and attend interest classes.
Care for Parents Service specialists help busy children comfort their parents and accompany them to the doctor. Decent Death Services clients can arrange their own funerals early, choose their own posthumous photos, and visit and experience the funeral home. If single, the service will have a family member rental service and the "family member" will attend the funeral.
With trust and honesty
sincerity and responsibility
We will be there as your family
for your significant day.

Are you willing to try such a service?
Susan first came into contact with this "Human Retal Business" last winter. I was visiting a museum in South Korea and saw this exhibition called "Perfect Family." Perfect Family" is artist Park Hyesoo's fictional "human rental" service, which he expects to be officially launched in 2030. The idea actually stemmed from more than 100 "role-playing rental" companies that have already appeared in South Korea and Japan. The artist hopes to use this project to make more people pay attention to the problems of family relations and interpersonal relationships in today's society.
The exhibition also had an interesting survey found that the most popular service was to rent a person to accompany them to the bank and sign a contract. The least popular service is renting a spouse. The results show that for most young Koreans, they don't care much about the traditional family structure and only need someone to give them enough security and belonging.
Susan believes that the perfect family is often a social standard, a reliable father who cares for the family, a gentle and loving mother, a filial piety of children, and a loving parent-child relationship, all of which are a ruler and even pressure that society gives to individuals and families. The services mentioned above may be a little funny, but also a little sad, and perhaps a satire of such "social expectations". But on the good side, when society is no longer only concerned about the rapid development of GDP, but people-oriented, more concerned about people's emotions or emotional needs, this is also a major progress in society.
