Most of them are taking the inconvenience and complying with the quarantine guidelines, but these places still remain. On the night of the 10th, about 200 people were caught dancing at a club in Gangnam, Seoul.

A group of men and women are dancing in a small space.
Most of the distances, such as holding hands or hugging, are not observed at all.
Ventilation facilities as well as windows can not be found, so if a confirmed person visits, a large-scale group infection is a concern.
About 9:30 last night, about 50 policemen came to this place located in the basement of a building in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
More than 200 people, including employees and guests, were caught on site.
It is said that most of the office workers and housewives gathered through’dance clubs’.

The police reported that the club had been registered as a general restaurant and operated an unauthorized club, such as installing sound equipment and special lighting, and arrested the current offender for violating the Food Sanitation Act.
The owner insisted, “We admit the negligence of management that does not keep a good distance,” but insisted that “it is not an unauthorized club.”

The competent ward office, which went through crackdowns together, plans to impose a fine of 100,000 won on the guests who are caught in violation of the Infectious Disease Prevention Act.
The police said they will continue to crack down on entertainment facilities that violate the quarantine rules.
