At the end of last month, Yunho Yunho is accused of staying at a restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, past 10pm until midnight.
TVXQ, Yunho Yunho (real name: Yoonho Jung) was investigated by the police for staying at a restaurant in Seoul after 10pm, when business was restricted due to the’second stage of social distancing’ in the metropolitan area.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 9th that it is investigating the suspicion of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Act (Infectious Disease Prevention Act).
At the end of last month, he is accused of staying at a restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, past 10 p.m. until midnight.
The distance-taking guidelines, which were enforced on the 15th of last month and maintained until the 14th of this month, limit the business hours of restaurants, cafes, and karaoke rooms in the metropolitan area, including Seoul, to 10 p.m.
With this, some netizens say that the store owner should leave them and close the door at 10 o’clock, whether the employee should remain after 10 o’clock and eat alcohol or rice, and there are many people even after 10 o’clock in PC cafes. It even led to the question of what happened.
Based on the reaction of netizens to this incident, we have summarized confusing quarantine rules.
‘I’m ashamed and sorry’
Yunho Yunho posted an apology on his Instagram on the night of the 9th, saying, “I’m a big disappointment to everyone who has trusted and supported me.”
He wrote, “More than anything else, I am sorry and regretful to all those who are having a hard and tiring day, including the medical staff who endure the difficult situation due to Corona 19.”
“I was too embarrassed to be able to meet the business hours while spending time talking with friends, and I was so shy about myself that I was angry with myself, and I think many people have been upset and hurt a lot because of my wrongdoing.” “I feel very sorry and regret for doing the wrong thing.”
In addition, he wrote, “I am deeply sorry for breaking the quarantine rules, and I will become Jung Yoon-ho who more thoroughly observes the corona 19 quarantine rules and thinks and acts deeper every moment.”
SM Entertainment, Yuno Yunho’s agency, also said, “Yunho recently met three acquaintances at a restaurant in Gangnam and was investigated beyond the business limit while talking. “There is,” he said, “I sincerely apologize for causing concern for many people suffering from Corona 19.”
He added, “I regret that I have not been able to thoroughly manage and guide my artists so that they can keep the quarantine rules well in their personal time,” he added. “I will work harder on quarantine rules education and guidance.”
Who did not export? PC room after 10 o’clock?
A netizen who heard the news of the police investigation by Yunho Yun-ho expressed a question, “But if the restaurant is open until 10 o’clock, why didn’t the restaurant owner say’it closes at 10′ and didn’t let it go?”
In the event of violating the current law, the employer must pay a fine of 3 million won or less and the customer less than 100,000 won.
Usually, a fine of 1.5 million won is imposed for the first violation of the owner, and a weighted penalty is applied from the second violation and 3 million won is imposed.
In this case as well, if it is correct that the business owner did not drive out Yunho Yunho, it seems that he would have to pay a fine.
On the other hand, some were questioning whether the owners and employees could not eat in the restaurant after 10 o’clock.
In addition, some netizens asked,’Can it be a violation of the law if it is not a business but an acquaintance?’
In this regard, the Seoul Metropolitan Government said in September last year that the reason for restricting restaurant business hours was to “prohibit gatherings,” so it is not a target for the business owners and employees to eat simple meals while maintaining a certain distance after the business hours have passed. .
In addition, there were comments saying whether it was correct that the business was restricted until 10 o’clock, mentioning PC cafes and study cafes.
As of the 15th, business hours for hypermarkets, movie theaters, PC cafes, and study cafes have disappeared.
However, six types of facilities, including restaurants, cafes, indoor sports facilities, singing practice centers, door-to-door sales, indoor standing performance halls, and party rooms, seem to be causing confusion due to the remaining hours of operation restrictions.
Following the news that Yunho Yunho was with three acquaintances, there was a comment saying, “I met them with less than 5 people. Isn’t it okay?”
But this is wrong. Prohibition of private gatherings with more than 5 people and restrictions on business hours should both be observed as separate guidelines.
