A performance venue in Busan, a city known as a hub for independent music, has been shut down for 3 months for allowing audience members to dance to music. The Korea Music Association said on the 22nd that it plans to appeal the decision, saying that the regulations on noise and entertainment businesses are too harsh. The Busan Metropolitan City said on the 20th that it ordered “Cuzz”, a music performance venue in the Busanjin Market, to suspend business for 3 months. This is because on October 25th of last year, some audience members danced to music during a performance. According to the current Entertainment Business Act, performance venues that host dancing are classified as entertainment businesses and must obtain a permit from the local government. However, if the audience dances without permission, the business can be punished. The Korea Music Association said, “The law and enforcement regulations are too harsh. The music industry has been developing with the public, and we need to discuss how to make the law more flexible.” The association pointed out that the current law makes it difficult for small and medium-sized performance venues to operate. An official from the association said, “In the case of Cuzz, the business owner was aware that dancing was prohibited, but he allowed it because he thought it was not a big deal. However, he was caught off guard and had to be punished.” The association emphasized, “We need to discuss ways to improve the system so that small and medium-sized performance venues can focus on music performances.” Meanwhile, Cuzz was one of the performance venues that had been actively hosting indie music performances. The business owner said, “I was doing well with a lot of performances lined up, but I had to cancel all of them because of this incident.”
