Jangan-gu Comprehensive Inspection of Singing Practice Rooms

Jangan-gu (District Chief Hong Sung-kwan) conducted nighttime inspection and guidance of 197 singing practice rooms throughout the district from the 15th to the 17th to reestablish the original purpose of singing culture and promote healthy leisure activities.

The inspection teams, organized into 14 groups consisting of 28 personnel, cracked down on various legal violations such as alcohol sales and escort service referrals at singing practice rooms, while simultaneously conducting inspections and providing guidance on facility standards including the prohibition of non-transparent paper attached to interior glass of singing practice rooms and verification of registration certificates.

For minor violations of facility standards, on-site officials provided guidance and corrective measures, while administrative sanctions will be imposed on legal violations such as alcohol storage.

A district official stated, "We hope that this inspection and guidance will greatly contribute to the elimination of illegal activities at singing practice rooms in the district and the prevention of various safety accidents going forward," adding, "We will continue to take the lead in establishing enjoyable and healthy leisure culture among citizens through ongoing and systematic inspection and guidance."
