There was a long line at the entrance of a large supermarket in Seoul.
We put three staff in a doorway where there was usually only one, but it is of no use when customers who are not familiar with using the app come.
[Supermarket employee: You need to know Naver and KakaoTalk accounts too... Then (KCDC) I need to find the Kub app password, but can you remember it?]
[Supermarket customer: I can’t remember the password well, what should I do… .]
I tried authentication for about 10 minutes and it didn't work, so I just let it in.
[Kim Jae-cheol / Yongsan-gu, Seoul: Forget it, I am old, so even if I do it once, I forget it, so I can’t do it again. An easy way, if you could do something like that... .]
Supermarkets and department stores are fine until the 16th as they have a guidance period, but fines for violations of the validity period of the quarantine pass for restaurants and cafes are imposed.
Business owners can get even more desperate because they can even get a business suspension.
[Jang Sang-chae/Seoul restaurant owner: (Vaccination can not be confirmed) I can’t get it, but when I said that, the elderly don’t understand, screaming…
Customers are fined 100,000 won, but we are suspended for 10 days and fines are 1.5 million won.]
The Self-Employed Emergency Response Committee, which is a gathering of 25 organizations including pubs, cafes, and sports facilities, has A rally was held demanding the abolition of the quarantine pass.
