Everyone is difficult, but business people, especially small businessmen, have a desperate day to day. The self-employed are in crisis, but the government has put out emergency loan assistance, but there is a voice saying that it is not helping at the scene.

Reporter Kim Hye-min was covered.

A restaurant in downtown Seoul that was crowded with office workers fleeing from nearby buildings during lunchtime.

There were only 2 lunch guests.


[A Korean restaurant owner: There wasn't a table last night. I've been in business for 39 years, but this is the first time. If it doesn't work like this ... .]

There is no way for the rumored eater alley since telecommuting continues for weeks.

This street has always been crowded with office workers and civil servants.

But as you can see back now, even people passing by are hard to find.

I went to a small business center that provides emergency loans to small business owners in marginalized situations.

When the waiting number table for up to 300 people is in the morning, it turns out that in the afternoon, the merchants who come in the afternoon are forced to turn their feet.

[We are closed today. Come early tomorrow morning.]

Even if the credit rating is low, it is said that it is supported, but if you are overdue or have not paid tax, you will be dropped.

[Print shop owner: Honestly, if there is no (loan) overdue and no (tax) unpaid, we will not try to get a loan.]

Everyone asks if it is so difficult to get a 10 million won loan.

[B Korean restaurant owner: I have a small loan, so it's useless. Well, it's 10 million years old.]

Above all, the budget itself is tight.

[Kim Im-yong / Chairman of the Small Business Association: The money is only 1.9 trillion won, but if 10 million won is paid, 190,000 will disappear.]

Following the point that it was a good light squirrel, the Small and Medium Business Administration announced that it would check the situation on the site and supplement the countermeasures.
