Crackdown on Illegal Business Activities Including Adult PC Rooms, Massage Parlors, and Vice Establishments

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has significantly expanded its inspection teams since the 9th in response to Seoul City's ban on gatherings at entertainment facilities, intensifying inspections of multi-use facilities such as entertainment venues, adult PC rooms, and massage parlors in the area.

The district increased the special joint inspection teams from the previous two groups to ten groups and, together with the Gangnam and Suseo Police Stations and consumer food hygiene inspectors, is continuously checking compliance with the gathering ban at 225 entertainment facilities in the area. Business owners or users violating the order will be reported.

Additionally, a thorough investigation and focused inspection will be conducted on similar entertainment facilities involving close contact, such as adult PC rooms, DVD and multi-rooms, and massage parlors, to check for illegal operations and actual conditions.

Furthermore, strict crackdowns will be carried out to ensure there are no illicit establishments providing similar sexual services, such as sleeping rooms or beauty salons, with strong measures taken upon detection.

Jeong Soon-gyun, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, stated, “This is a time when the cooperation of multi-use business operators is urgently needed to prevent the spread within the community. We will continue to do our best to protect the health and safety of residents through proactive measures.”
