SEOUL, Sept. 11 (Korea Bizwire)Brides and grooms won’t have to pay to cancel their reservation if a wedding hall shuts down due to the coronavirus, the antitrust regulator said Thursday.

The Fair Trade Commission announced a new bill that amends the standard on consumer dispute settlement, particularly concerning the wedding industry.

Cancellation charges are exempted if a wedding hall shuts down due to the coronavirus or if the region where the hall is located or the customer’s area of residence is declared as a special disaster area.

In addition, cancellation charges can be reduced if any form of assembly is restricted on the day of the wedding or a pandemic alert prevents couples from getting married.

Cancellation charges can be exempted by up to 40 percent if level 2 social distancing measures apply to wedding halls.
