ROK and Roll! (my adventures in the land of soju, kimchi, Taekwondo and Twice ❤) — It’s been almost a year since businesses in Seoul are closing freaking early in the evening (mostly 10 pm), but the government decided they were not fucking enough with the livelihood of people and the last 2 weeks, every restaurant and bar have to close at 9 pm.
