Seoul: Lawmakers and presidential campaign officials of South Korea’s main opposition People Power Party (PPP) have come under fire for holding a dinner party in violation of the Covid-19 social distancing, a media report said on Saturday March 19.

A photo made public on social media Friday March 18 showed 10 people, including three PPP lawmakers and two senior officials of the campaign office of President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol, dinind at a restaurant near the National Assembly in Seoul on March 14, the Yonhap News Agency report said.

They violated the Covid-19 guideline that limits private gatherings to six people.

The local district office said it will fine the participants and they could face a fine of up to 100,000 won ($82).

The photo was unveiled by a businessman who participated in the get-together at the invitation of an acquaintance.

The participants include Representatives Yoon Sang-hyun, Kim Byong-wook and Ko Ja-keun, as well as two ranking campaign officials, Song Tae-young and Lee Se-chang.

The revelation came after about 30 PPP officials were caught on Wednesday by district officials having a dinner party at a restaurant near the National Assembly.
