There is a controversy over the story of the story of Sayuri, a broadcaster who selected a voluntary unmarried mother, and was evacuated to nearby Starbucks in an apartment fire.
Sayuri said on Instagram on the 24th, “A fire broke out in the basement of our apartment in the morning of (23rd). The smoke came up to the window of our house and the outside turned white.” “The aunt who takes care of the child put (son) Zen in her clothes. Hug, I ran out with the puppies in both hands,” he said at the time.
“The more I went down the stairs, the harder the smoke came up, and even if I went down, my heart seemed to stop with a sense of fear that I couldn’t see the exit,” he said. “More than anything else, I was so afraid of what would happen to my son who is only three months old. I felt like tears would fall and the sky would collapse.”
Sayuri later left the puppies at an animal hospital near her house and visited Starbucks with her son to avoid the cold.
Sayuri said, “My son was shaking his lips because of the cold, and I wanted to evacuate my son to a warm and safe place as soon as possible. I was standing to give him two drinks, but the employee said that he had to do the QR code first.” We explained our situation that we didn’t bring it out, but he said that he had to go out because he couldn’t drink at the store. He showed him his blue lips and asked him to stay indoors for a while for him, but he said it wasn’t going to end.”
He said, “I thought at that time how good it would have been to write down my personal information and allow entry like other stores. This time, I couldn’t receive information about my personal information until the end.”
Sayuri said, “The reason I am writing this article is absolutely not the purpose of criticizing the employee,” he said. “As a mother, I ask you as a human being. If the child is shaking because it is cold, we will not let the store out for the reason that there is no cell phone. I hope you do. That’s all I want.”
Starbucks said in a media interview that day, “When Sayuri-nim visited, the QR code check was not possible, so we guided the handwritten list. However, when creating the list, you must write down your name and phone number and verify your identity with an ID card.” .
Starbucks said, “All branches are following the same guidelines,” and “I asked for identification, but they said they didn’t, so I was forced to explain the situation and the staff politely asked for their understanding. The same is true for other residents in the same situation. “Because it was guided, I could not apply it differently to Sayuri-sama.”
“I heard that although we are in an embarrassing situation, we couldn’t ignore that a bigger situation could happen if we violated the policy set by the corona19 situation, and we applied the same to others. “I know there was a disagreement with the guided staff or that there was no such thing.”

According to the current quarantine guidelines, if an electronic access list is not introduced in a high-risk facility, or if a person is caught making a false list or poorly managed, a fine of up to 3 million won may be imposed. In fact, it is possible to receive administrative dispositions such as a group prohibition order, which means business suspension.
An official from the quarantine authorities said, “If you do not have a QR code, it is correct to present your ID and fill out a list.” However, it was not possible to give a clear answer on whether or not an exception can be applied in special circumstances such as this case.
