Criminal case for nightlife entertainment business guests
On the 21st, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 21st that it has undertaken a joint inspection of entertainment facilities with Seoul City, Gangnam-gu, and Seocho-gu at the dawn of the 20th on the weekend. According to the police, three entertainment pubs where female receptionists work were caught while secretly operating, and seven clubs were found to have violated the quarantine rules. The three entertainment bars that were caught under the enforcement network were unlicensed entertainment establishments that reported business as general restaurants.
The owners of three unlicensed entertainment bars are suspected of violating the Food Sanitation Act. The police also applied the charges of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act as they violated the business limit of 10 pm. The entertainment bar seemed not to be open outside, but it is said that it was actually open until 1 am.
A police official said, “Any unauthorized entertainment bar that was open until dawn while avoiding the enforcement network was detected through a joint inspection.” “The business owner violated the food hygiene law. It was built.” If you use the entertainment bar beyond 10 pm, when meetings are limited, you are in violation of the Infectious Disease Prevention Act.
7 Clubs for Violation of Distance, Administrative Disposition
Seven clubs in Gangnam, Seoul also violate the quarantine rules. They opened the door at 5 am when the business restrictions were lifted, and started ‘trick business’. It is said that the distance between the guests in the club was not maintained due to crowds of people at the dawn of the weekend. In accordance with the second stage of social distancing in the metropolitan area, a distance of at least 1m between users must be maintained in entertainment facilities such as clubs.
However, violations of quarantine rules such as non-wearing of masks and non-compliance with distance are not subject to criminal penalties. Only administrative measures, such as imposing fines, were possible, so the local government decided to investigate further. An official from Gangnam-gu said, “Because dancing in the club is prohibited, even users who keep their distance have a lot to consider, such as how much body movement should be viewed as’dance’. did.
