Uh Yeo (quickly) book a hotel and go home comfortably.” A comment was posted on the mam cafe in Gangnam, saying, “How are everyone going home from work?” “I told my husband to sleep and come tomorrow”.
Choi Mo, an office worker living in Mapo, said that he was surprised to find a motel in Doksan near the company late at night. “I’ve been to work at 9 o’clock, so I tried to find a room near the company. I had a room during the day. In the lodging application, only lodgings with poor ratings remained. When I actually looked up the lodging application at 1 am on the 13th, more than 10 motels in Gangnam and Yeoksam in Seoul were’reservation expired’. When I inquired for a room at Hotel A in Samseong-dong, Seoul, “Reservation is not possible. Like the last time, I don’t know if the exact cause is due to snow, but it is full when it snows.”
