“You don’t get together… Shall we go or not?”
“It’s still a holiday… Are you coming or not?”
Even during the Lunar New Year holidays, the quarantine authorities banned private gatherings of 5 or more people are no exception. Over the holiday visits, the ‘Bronze Dream’ between parents and children continues.
■ Daughter-in-law who wants to report it
The daughter-in-law and the son-in-law have a hard time saying, “Visiting the quarantine guidelines when visiting a family with a different residence,” even though they decided to’don’t go.’
In particular, the stress of the holiday gathering of her daughter-in-law has already begun. On the online mom café, there is a post that says,’I’m worried about whether or not to go to my wife’s house this New Year’. Half joke, half serious. From the proposal to report each other in case of being called to the in-laws, a method of’self-reporting’ has emerged in which anonymity is guaranteed by reporting at 112.
Choi Eun-sook (pseudonym, 37), who lives in Dong-gu, Busan, has not yet decided with her husband whether to visit her in-laws and family. Since I have two children, the moment I enter any house, it violates the quarantine guidelines.
On the afternoon of the 31st of last month, 10 days before Lunar New Year, citizens visit the tombs of their ancestors in Busan’s Yeongnak Park and do their holy grave in advance. To prevent the spread of Corona 19, the city of Busan is planning to completely close public cemeteries and bonan facilities in Yeongnak Park and Memorial Park in Busan on February 11-14, the Lunar New Year holiday. Citizens can visit Bonandang through advance reservation for 6 days on weekends excluding Lunar New Year holidays and weekdays until the 21st. Reporter Jeong Jong-hoe jjh@
Mr. Choi said, “My mother-in-law usually takes good care of the children, but I am very sorry that I will not go until the New Year this year.” Already several times,’What are you going to do this Lunar New Year?’ Choi wonders if the expression’I’m sad’ will come out of the mouth of the mother-in-law who asks.
The ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people is an empty echo for South Korean daughter-in-law and son-in-law. A netizen with similar circumstances to Choi said, “I don’t know when I can say everything I can say without noticing my in-laws.” I also left. The so-called’Poomati Report’. It’s a story that you can’t just laugh at.

From the point of view of parents who also spent the Chuseok holiday, Eo Young Boo-young misses their children because they skipped until the Lunar New Year holiday. Even if the grandson’s face is in front of me, it’s not a burden to say hello to the same atmosphere these days.
Kim Hye-won (pseudonym, 66), who lives in Geumjeong-gu, replaced her greeting with a video call last Chuseok. Mr. Kim confessed, “I understand that there are only three children who have left the country, but I understand the ban on meetings for quarantine, but honestly, it’s too empty because no children come.” He said, “It’s been a long time since I haven’t seen my grandchildren, but if it’s hard for everyone to get together, I’d like to have one family return to me.”

Noh Gyeong-seo (pseudonym, 69), who lives in Yeonje-gu and near his son, decided to visit only his son and grandson, with the daughter-in-law remaining. It is a hurry to get together with less than 4 people and have a turn. The daughter and son-in-law living in Haeundae-gu decided to pledge the next Chuseok. Mr. Noh laughed, “If I didn’t do this, I would be so lonely with my husband, so I squeezed my hair out of the holiday mood.”
Whether they know the dream of frostbite between parents and children, each local government is putting up a banner emphasizing the quarantine guidelines ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays. Suyeong-gu Office posted the phrase,’Don’t come to the Namcheon-dong crossroads and say,’When it’s quiet when it’s quiet.’
However, there are also voices raising doubts about how effective the intensive quarantine measures leading up to the holiday season will be effective. The quarantine authorities plan to impose a fine of 100,000 won or less if five or more family members living in different residences gather during the Lunar New Year holidays. However, in fact, it is a position that there is no separate crackdown and only voluntary cooperation from citizens is expected.
