<Anchor> As the
9:00 p.m. business restriction was maintained, restaurant owners were a bit disappointed, and it was said that it was fortunate that cafes were allowed to eat inside the store.
Let's meet the self-employed people who are making great sacrifices.
Reporter Kim Deok-hyun, the streets are already busy.
<Reporter>
Yes, I am now in Yongmun Market, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
It is time to receive customers, but after about an hour, you can no longer receive customers.
The streets around here are also rather busy as customers leave early.
Self-employed people were very excited about this government announcement, but it is somewhat disappointing as measures such as banning meetings with more than 5 people and restrictions on business after 9 o'clock continue.
[Kim Chang-jin/Restaurant owner: Sales decreased by 70%.
I thought the business hours would increase a bit, but since the current stage is said to be until 9 o'clock, our self-employed people are really (regretful)]

Reporter Kim met the owners of cafes and karaoke bars, too?
<Reporter>
Yes, there are chairs on the table in the cafe so that customers cannot sit, but from Monday, eating in the store became possible, and the cafes were excited.
[Min Da-jung/Cafe staff: I'm looking forward to it.
(Sales) almost 80% fell.
(From Monday) I have an expectation that many customers will come.]
Gymnasiums and karaoke rooms, which are limited in business in about 40 days, welcomed this move, but expressed regret in the regulation of personnel per area and hours of operation.
[Lee Sang-cheol/Coin karaoke store owner: Two people (per room) come the most.
If the number of people is done like this, who will come to call.]
[Kim Seong-Woo/Health Center Operation: There is a phenomenon of crowding from 8 to 9 o'clock after work hours.
The quarantine needs to be distributed, but rather is gathered...
.] The
self-employed have appealed for the need for additional government support for the hits they have suffered.
