About

Plash Speed refers to a viral South Korean animated short sketch in which a man attempts to replace his wireless router with a new PlayStation without his wife knowing. Throughout the video, the husband, his son, brother in law and the guy who "installs" the PlayStation attempt to convince the wife that the new PlayStation is a wireless router and the "PS" of the PlayStation logo stands for "Plash Speed," a hyper-fast new type of internet speed.

As far as I can tell about Korean culture (as my parents are from south korea and i was born there), the students are doing a shit ton of homework and studying. Playing games on a PlayStation PlashSpeed 4 or playing video games in general is considered a waste of time.
