"Protect the Youth" ... Changwon Special City Cracks Down on New and Variant Room Cafes

Civil, Public, and Police Joint Inspection and Crackdown Until the 10th

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam has been conducting joint inspections and crackdowns with relevant departments and the local police station on youth-harmful establishments, including new and variant room cafes, within the jurisdiction for five days from the 6th to the 10th.

New and variant room cafes are cafes operated with individual rooms, and recently there has been growing concern that motel-level business activities are taking place in enclosed spaces or that these places could be used as venues for youth delinquency.

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam is conducting joint inspections and crackdowns with related departments and the local police station targeting new and variant room cafes and other youth-harmful establishments.

Accordingly, as the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family issued a notice that new and variant room cafes fall under establishments where youth entry and employment are prohibited, reflecting increasing social concerns, the city has implemented its own inspection and crackdown measures.

Starting with crackdowns on new and variant room cafes centered around commercial districts located in Bansong-dong on the 6th, intensive crackdowns will be conducted on establishments in commercial districts, around schools, and entertainment districts within the jurisdiction where there are concerns about youth harm.

Yoon Deok-hee, Director of the Child and Youth Division, stated, “We will continue to strengthen inspections of harmful establishments throughout the year to ensure that youth-harmful environments can no longer take root in our Changwon Special City, and we will be thorough in monitoring and supervision to fully protect our youth.”
