<Reporter> The
night street of Itaewon, Seoul yesterday, ahead of Halloween, there is no time to set foot with people pouring out from the evening.
The streets were full of young people dressed up for Halloween, and the police and local governments started cracking down on quarantine rules.
[Yongsan-gu Office Staff: I'll simply check whether there is a vaccine or if the table is overrun.] At
10 o'clock, the business limit, when the restaurants close, a huge crowd pours out into the street at once.
The police honk their horns to encourage them to go home.
[Police official: For everyone's safety, please do not gather here and return home as soon as possible.]
Most of the people who enjoyed entertainment on the street returned home before midnight.
[Police official: It was a bit crowded as the customers who were in the store now came out.
There was a part where I stayed on the road and drank alcohol, but it was all disbanded
around midnight
.]
Even tomorrow, Halloween, the restaurants are only open until 10pm.
The first stage of implementation of 'With Corona', where the business hours restrictions are lifted, will be implemented from 5 am the day after tomorrow, not midnight tomorrow.
This is to prevent confusion due to the Halloween crowd.
The police are planning to continue intensive joint inspections tonight in downtown areas such as Itaewon and Hongdae.
