Gwangjang Market in Jongno District, central Seoul, has only few customers on Thursday. The Covid-19 pandemic, which started exactly two years ago in Korea, has taken a toll on small businesses.
A notice on social distancing rules is posted at the Gyeongdong Market in Dongdaemun District, central Seoul, Wednesday.
Small businesses have been devastated by the pandemic, so much so that even some of the classics — much beloved, decades-old mainstays — have been forced to close.
