Officials from the Korea Entertainment Food Service Association are marching on the 10th from LG Twin Towers in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, to the Blue House, demanding the withdrawal of the ban on gatherings at entertainment bars. They stated, "Since the government’s ban on gatherings was enforced from March last year when COVID-19 prevention measures were strengthened, we have been unable to operate for a total of 10 months." They added, "As a result, more than 90% of entertainment business owners, who are small-scale operators relying on their livelihoods, are facing dire situations such as eviction lawsuits from building owners." / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
