A photo of a woman openly taking out and eating bossam and kimchi inside a Seoul Subway Line No. 2 car is spreading online, stirring controversy.
On the 28th, posts reading "I saw someone eating on Seoul Subway Line No. 2" spread across various social media (SNS). Poster A said, "She had taken out bossam, soup, and even kimchi and was eating," and uploaded a photo.
In the photo, the woman is seated with a lunchbox container on her lap, eating with chopsticks. Bossam and kimchi can be seen. With the other hand she was holding a bowl of soup, and some food had fallen on the floor.
It is known that the smell of food spread in the car at the time, and passengers complained of discomfort.
While there is no regulation under current law that directly bans eating food in the subway, under the subway passenger transport terms and conditions, measures such as stopping acts that harm other passengers or refusing transport can be taken.
