The “street of youth” full of people crowded together is no longer to be expected in western Seoul’s Hongdae. 

As the nation‘s new daily COVID-19 infection cases faced a sudden rise that exceeded 500 on Thursday, the concern of a third wave of the pandemic has deepened.

Meanwhile, the social distancing level has been raised to Level 2 in order to prevent the further spread of the virus.
