On the 7th, in a karaoke room in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, where step 2.5 of social distancing is in effect, he hangs a banner titled ‘I’m broken’. The karaoke room announced that it will be suspended due to the aftermath of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

Yangmo, 31, who opened a franchised chicken restaurant in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do earlier this year, and closed the door after six months, is well aware of the news of the second emergency support payment for disaster. I was wondering if the self-employed who closed their business after the novel coronavirus (Corona 19) infection can also be supported.
Yang opened the store two months ago when sales were down by half a day, which was in the 800,000 won range, and she was unable to pay her monthly rent and labor costs. The initial cost of 27 million won was intact. Yang said, “I heard that self-employed people who do not have last year’s sales data cannot receive subsidies because the amount of damage cannot be calculated. The child is burned. ”
As the government concluded secondary support for Corona 19’s reproliferation with a ‘personalized selective payment’, curiosity and discontent are spilling mainly onto the small business owners and the self-employed who are the targets of the support. Many people worry that they will be excluded from the beneficiaries even if they suffered the great damage of Corona 19.
● Self-employed business owners who started and closed businesses this year, “Can’t you get help?”
Secondary support targets included 12 high-risk facilities, such as karaoke and PC cafes, that were unable to operate in the second stage of social distancing, as well as general freelancers that suffered extensive damage. The government is considering a plan to provide differential support according to the degree of damage, in addition to collective support for damaged industries. Based on last year’s card sales receipts and VAT payment results, the amount of the reduction in sales is compared and paid differently. However, self-employed individuals who started this year may not be eligible for support because they do not have previous sales data. A, who registered as a business in January, told the online cafe: “I couldn’t even get a low-interest loan for small business owners because there was no evidence of last year’s sales. Are you not excluded this time?
Even small freelancers who do a lot of cash transactions complain that damage is not easy to prove. Mr. B, who runs a coin-operated karaoke room, said, “Our store puts 1000 won bills in the machine, so it is difficult to test card sales.”
There are complaints about whether freelancers who have closed their business are also eligible for support while the line of business continues, mainly for karaoke rooms and PC rooms, which have not been open for a long time due to the group ban order. Mr. C, a freelance business owner, worried: “The store was closed due to Corona 19, but the closed store cannot receive subsidies because it is impossible to calculate sales.”
● “Rent reduction and loan expansion must be done in parallel.”
It is argued that stores with a sharp drop in sales after a confirmed visit from corona19 should be included in the support target. The restaurant run by Anmo (39) in Daejeon fell from 2.5 million won to 160,000 won a day after the confirmed patient came to it in July. Ahn said: “There is no news because the government compensates the damage. I would even like to receive the second disaster support fund. ”
There is a controversy about the fairness between special types of workers, such as visiting salespeople and substitute drivers. Substitute driver Mr. D said: “Even when it rained heavily and typhoons hit, we made sales by working harder. He said, “If you get less support for working hard, you will feel deprived.”
There are many opinions that it is necessary to reduce the rent and expand the credit and tax support along with the payment of subsidies. Lee Mo (40), who runs a karaoke room in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, said, “I opened a store with an investment of 300 million won, but I forgot 6 million won a month because I couldn’t do business. It doesn’t help much to get 1 million won in support, so please come up with a plan to lower your rent or expand your loan support. ”
Ha Jun-kyung, an economics professor at Hanyang University, said: “It is necessary to propose practical measures, such as interest-free loans, to create synergy effects.” Choi Byeong-ho, professor of economics at Pusan National University, said: “A large part of the 7 trillion won from the second grant is paid before Chuseok, as planned by the government, but even if it takes some time, you need to consider a plan to support the damaged company in the blind spot later. ”
