▲ Citizens who visited Mapo Mangwon Hangang Park in Seoul


On the seventh Sunday, the first Sunday in June, the mid-day temperature in Seoul was close to 30 degrees, and the early summer weather was evident, and the city was crowded with outing citizens.

However, it was also seen that the prevention consciousness was loosened due to the lack of wearing a mask or the'keeping away'.

The Mangwon Hangang Park in Mapo-gu, Seoul, was filled with citizens who lay down mats on the lawns or put tents and spend time with family, friends, and lovers.

Most children have run around on the lawn or playground without wearing a mask on their chin or at all.

Indoor spaces such as cafes were also crowded with citizens.

A 3-story café near Gwanghwamun had many guests, with only a few seats left on the 1st to 3rd floors. Even though there were about 90 people on all floors, less than 10 people were wearing masks.

In the wake of the mass infection after the pioneering church in Incheon, large churches in Seoul held Sunday worship services in a cautious atmosphere.

Onchori Church in Seocho-gu introduced an electronic entry list using QR codes to prevent corona19 and established Sunday worship services on Saturdays in addition to Sundays to reduce the number of attendees.

Inside the chapel, a QR code-printed paper was attached to each seat so that you could see what kind of believers were sitting there.

National highways and national highways were crowded with outing vehicles.

The Korea Expressway Corporation predicted that the Gangwon area will be particularly crowded today (7th) with national traffic volume reaching 4.40 million and increasing number of outing vehicles.
