the cause of the epidemic. South Korea's epidemic prevention and control measures are to control industries where people are concentrated, such as retail and catering, which has led to the bankruptcy of many small and medium-sized enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises have little funds, and many of them are newly established enterprises. They will be in debt before they make money, and it is strange that they will not close down. There is data reality on the Internet. In the first half of 2121, the number of small businesses of self-employed households in South Korea decreased by 1.4 million! In addition to retail and catering, other industries are also greatly affected by the epidemic. 11, tourism
Because of the impact of the epidemic, tourism has been hit hard. People can't go out, let alone travel. Especially in the initial stage of the epidemic, tourism is almost stagnant. After May Day, the epidemic situation improved and the tourism industry slowly began to recover, but it was still not optimistic. In order to promote local tourism, many places even introduce free tickets and free bus rides to attract tourists.
In the past, it was chic to leave, but now, it is an adventure. However, I believe that tourism will gradually recover. 12, transportation industry
People don't go out, not to mention the transportation industry. Some netizens joked that when they go out, they often pack cars and planes. Because too few people go out, it becomes a chartered car. This has also led to many people in the transportation industry losing their jobs. For example, Didi drivers, without guests, have almost no income. 13, e-commerce industry
The e-commerce industry is also greatly affected, because everyone stays at home, unemployed, unemployed, and has no money, and the desire for consumption has also dropped a lot. Perhaps the e-commerce industry will be better than other industries, because online shopping is still very safe after all. However, the overall economic downturn has also led to the decline of the e-commerce industry.
Generally speaking, it is normal for small businesses in South Korea to go bankrupt. Under the influence of the epidemic, small businesses in many countries have gone bankrupt, and South Korea is not the only one.
