On November 7, the South Korean government implemented a new social distancing system to respond to COVID-19. Even in this situation, the downtowns of Seoul, where many college students gather, is still crowded.

On the streets, the quarantine rules are relatively well followed, however, when after entering the stores, crowds took off their masks and began chatting. In bars and clubs where people gathered at very narrow intervals, the situation is even worse. The twenties who enjoy entertainment think that they are safe from COVID-19 because they are young. Kim, a university student who was drinking in Hongdae, 23,  said, “In fact, I know I have to wear the masks but it is not easy to keep wearing a mask while I am drinking. I’m still young, so I think it’s okay.”

It is prevalent that the younger, the less likely to get COVID-19, but the fact that the twenties occupy about 20% of the current cumulative table of COVID-19 confirmed patients in Korea. It means the twenties should participate in the distancing policy. People in their twenties have high immunity and can overcome the coronavirus well, but since they can transmit the virus to the elderly, they must strive to keep the prevention guidelines.
