Recently, a netizen on the popular online community, Nate Pann, shared a photo of an enormous pool party held in Yangyang county. The county is a trendy vacation spot located in Gangwon Province since it is on the coast and has many beaches.

The netizen who shared the photo expressed how baffled they were and wrote, “There was a corona party at a local pool. Most of the people weren’t wearing masks. They must have come to Yangyang because there was traffic to Gangneung. Isn’t this crazy?”
