Public opinion is divided about the three mobile carriers submitting all the information about visitors to Itaewon to the city of Seoul.

Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon held a briefing today (12th) and said, “We secured the entire list of base station users through cooperation with the National Police Agency and the telecommunications company.”

Those on this list are those who have accessed 17 base stations around the Itaewon club and pub from the 24th to the 6th of last month. If you stayed at a nearby store, cafe or street for more than 30 minutes, information such as your name, phone number, and home address was submitted to the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Centers for Disease Control. 
When the news was announced, the netizens showed contradictory positions. First of all, those concerned about "privacy infringement" questioned whether it was reasonable to request over 10,000 information.

It was "excessive," even in response to Mayor Park's texting to all of the visitors during that period, saying, "You know what you do best. You don't need to be tested if you think you're not in or around the club." The criticism came out.
On the other hand, there are many claims that the strategy of the quarantine authorities, which calls for voluntary inspection by visitors to Itaewon, is working. In fact, the number of inspections, which was about 3,500 on the 10th, doubled to about 6,500 per day, and the response that Seoul's response was inevitable is gaining strength.

Mayor Park said that the infection from the Itaewon Club would be the opportunity to establish a 'Human Rights Infringement Prevention Hotline' and will do everything possible to prevent the privacy of visitors, confirmers and close contacts from Itaewon. In addition, if any personal information is leaked, the Seoul Metropolitan Human Rights Commissioner will conduct a related investigation and emphasize that it will also support the linkage of the National Human Rights Commission.
