South Korean Police Ready to Crackdown on Halloween Parties this Weekend
It will be interesting to see how effective these COVID patrols are going to be over the weekend:
South Korean police in metropolitan districts will be cracking down on COVID-19 violations over Halloween weekend, particularly in areas frequented by foreigners and young adults.
Roughly 200 additional police officers and city workers from Yongsan, Hongdae, Itaewon and other popular districts in Seoul will conduct joint patrols between Thursday and Sunday, a senior law enforcement official told Stars and Stripes on the customary condition of anonymity.
“Patrollers, including city council officers and cops, will check whether folks are keeping a safe distance from others, wearing masks and avoiding large gatherings,” the senior law enforcement official said Wednesday. “We’ll visit businesses and guide folks to follow disinfection guidance as well.”
Although Halloween is not officially observed in the country, the holiday prompts parties and other events catered toward younger crowds and foreigners. Districts like Itaewon and Hongdae in Seoul are known for their foreigner-friendly businesses and are home to numerous bars and nightclubs.

But wouldn’t crack on the KCTU. Great job by you commie moon.
Yes.
Hassling young people having fun, small business that has already had a rough year, and foreigners, which focuses the group against the Others instead of their own state-caused problems.
This is really a fantastic plan.
Sort of like the entirety of authoritarian communism all in one sentence.
There was a time when South Korea threw communists into the ocean wrapped in chains.
When people get tired of this and ignore it, the stupidity will stop. Until then, it will get pushed as far as it can.
More people have been hit in the road and killed than died of covid. Fear of covid is a mental illness.
When this mental illness is over and people come to their senses, some politicians and their enthusiastic enforcers need to publicly hang to serve as a warning to the next generation what happens to tyrants and their sycophants.
Until then, people deserve what they tolerate.
Well… went out for Halloween.
Saw a lot of police. Didn’t see a lot of crackdown.
They may have targeted places they had a hard on for…
…or maybe they did the right thing and didn’t hassle the hard-working class.
…will talk to everyone next weekend.
