According to the Geochang Police Station on the 15th, a 45-year-old owner of an entertainment bar in the Geochang area was found dead at home on the 13th. The police estimated that Mr. A, who served as the chairman of the entertainment bar in Geochang area, fell into a financial crisis when he was unable to operate for a long time due to the Corona 19 incident, and eventually made an extreme choice. No will was found.
The police concluded that there was no entry of outsiders and that they made an extreme choice in consideration of the circumstances of the house at the time. Accordingly, it was decided not to do an autopsy.
It is known that Mr. A suffered severe stress from the call of members of the entertainment bar calling for countermeasures when he was unable to operate properly for more than 10 months. Mr. A’s acquaintances and neighbors testified to the police, “Due to Corona 19, business has not been well since the beginning of last year, and after an order to ban gatherings was given to an entertainment bar,” he testified to the police.
The Gyeongnam branch and branch of the Korea Entertainment and Food Industry Federation are scheduled to hold a large-scale rally in front of the Gyeongnam Provincial Party and Gyeongnam Provincial Office of the Democratic Party at 1 pm on the 17th. The reason is that the’restriction on business after 10:00′, which applies from the 15th, is a measure that does not take into account the characteristics of entertainment facilities open late in the evening. They argue that new guidelines need to be put in place, taking into account that the key operating hours are in different industries.
The entertainment bar industry expects that hundreds of people will gather at this rally due to Mr. A’s death. Currently, the number of gatherings under the 1.5-stage distance distance is less than 100. On January 7th, about 90 industry officials gathered in front of the Gyeongnam Provincial Office to hold a protest rally. An official from the entertainment industry said, “Because of the nature of the industry, it is not the time to end the business at 10 pm, it is the time to start the business. It was, but it was too stuffy.”
On the other hand, from the 15th, the government’s “social distance” step for responding to the COVID-19 epidemic will be lowered by 0.5 steps to step 2 in the metropolitan area and 1.5 steps in the non-metropolitan area. Even entertainment establishments across the country, where gatherings have been banned, are allowed to operate until 10 pm.
