In Seoul, business owners have faced penalties due to minors pretending to be adults to buy alcohol. To prevent this, Seoul City urges stores to verify identification, using either physical or mobile IDs. Despite changes in legislation to reduce the burden on small businesses, issues persist, with 125 violations reported within the first half of 2023 alone. The mobile ID app helps verify age, and proof of ID verification can shield vendors from legal penalties, even if the ID was forged. Seoul emphasizes the importance of public cooperation and aims to promote proper drinking culture through awareness campaigns.
