Mokpo A Pub Repeatedly Violates Quarantine Guidelines... Eventually Caught

From the object recognition sensor at the entrance of the establishment to the exit railing

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seung-hyun Jeong] Multiple reports were made against Mokpo A entertainment bar, which ignored COVID-19 quarantine guidelines and operated illegally with its doors locked, eventually leading to its capture.

Last month, a whistleblower claimed, "The establishment operated illegally until 3 a.m. without being raided by the police or local government."

As if mocking the local government's crackdown, according to citizen B who visited the illegal A bar, "They were sitting at a bar on the floor directly above the establishment, but suddenly, upon hearing from the staff that 'a raid is happening,' everyone inside swiftly evacuated," and "At that time, many people who appeared to be entertainment hostesses quietly moved through a hidden back door from the lower floor," the whistleblower reported.

Additionally, B stated, "The establishment had installed an object recognition sensor on the entrance stairs to anticipate raids," and "On that day, the sensor did not go off, so the raid came unprepared, but no one was actually caught."

According to nearby shop owners, the establishment frequently had customers visiting with music playing even after 10 p.m.

Meanwhile, the establishment was caught in raids twice on the 8th and 30th of last month.

Currently, there are a total of 150 singing practice rooms and 293 entertainment and danran bars registered in Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do. This year, the joint crackdown by the Mokpo City Health Center and Mokpo Police Station resulted in 5 cases at practice rooms and 14 cases at bars.
