Kwon Young-doo, owner of a private art gallery in Seoul’s historic Bukchon Hanok Village in South Korea, is concerned about an impending curfew policy aimed at mitigating overtourism in the area.
The curfew, set for a trial this month and to be officially launched in March next year, will limit tourist access to specific areas of Bukchon from 5pm to 10am. Fines of up to KRW100,000 (RM317) will be imposed on violators.
