owner of a convenience store was beaten up by a customer.
It happened when I asked a customer who is wearing a mask on the chin to wear a mask properly these days.
Reporter Jo Yoon-ha covered it.

A man walks into a convenience store with a mask on his chin.
A man waving his hand like a joke when the owner of a convenience store asks, "Please use a mask properly."
When the owner warns, "If you put a mask on your chin, you can't be in the store," you go outside.
However, the men's party begins to protest against the owner.
[Convenience store owner: You are swearing at me while paying at the counter.
'What are you doing? Don't wear a (mask) to an adult without a wrap.'] When the
owner protests to go out, he suddenly strikes the owner's head with his hand and finally knocks it down.
A man slaps his cheek and arm with his fist when the owner reports to the police.
The riots lasted for about 20 minutes, and the inside of the convenience store became a mess.
The owner said that he was injured for two weeks in front of his neck and arm, but above all, he suffered severe mental pain.
[Convenience store owner: I am scared. It's scary to treat people. The mental damage suffered by some customers is the greatest than the decline in sales. That's the hardest.]
Gyeonggi Province issued an'administrative order to wear masks' starting in mid-August, requiring both residents and visitors to wear masks, but it is still not wearing masks.
The police are planning to call the offender to investigate.
