Kang Won-rae, a singer from the clone, criticized “K-pop is the world’s number one, but Korea’s quarantine seems to be inferior.” On the 20th, Ahn Chul-soo, head of the National Assembly Party, held a meeting with merchants in Itaewon, Seoul. Kang currently runs a pub in Itaewon.
Mr. Kang said, “It makes me feel bad just by looking at an empty shop here,” and “I don’t think this is a word to say,’You’ll have to take care of it’.” “They put the moral standards in place,” he said. “There are many places here that most of the businesses are open from 8 to 9 pm, so keep it open until 9 pm (the business will be closed).”
Representative Ahn said, “The standard for social distancing is a fist-fighting style,” he said. “Itaewon also closes almost half of its doors and leaves, and he said that he does not know how long the other half will be able to withstand it.” He added, “From Seoul City, we will establish a scientific distance standard. Disaster subsidies should be given to those who have actually suffered a disaster.”
Earlier, on the 9th, Kang went to a street rally with the merchants in Itaewon to review the quarantine regulations. Broadcaster Hong Seok-cheon also attended the rally at the time. They complained of difficulties, saying that Itaewon has turned into a ghost town after the’group infection from the Itaewon club’ in May last year. Kang also complained of difficulties by posting on Instagram. He wrote, “It’s hard, but I told you to stay still, so I lost 500,000 won a day and 180 million won in 1,500 a month. What can I do anymore?”
