On December 4, according to Korean media reports, the Korean National Assembly passed a draft of some amendments to the National Health Promotion Act on December 2. The main contents are as follows:

The newly established regulations prohibit drinking in alcohol-free areas and impose a fine (below 100,000 won) on drunk persons in the alcohol-free areas.

Raise the alcohol advertising standards and the compliance of alcohol advertising in the current implementation order to the legislative level, and clearly stipulate that "people who obtain alcohol production licenses or alcohol sales licenses, and alcohol importers" compulsorily comply with the above standards and compliance matter. Anyone who violates the above regulations and fails to fulfill the order for changing the contents of the advertisement or prohibiting the advertisement without a valid reason will be punished with a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than one year or a fine of not more than 10 million won.
