Is it illegal to take picture inside a store?
Yesterday, I was doing my homework for the group project about GS25, a retail store in Korea. I needed some pictures inside of the store to talk about the promotions. So I stepped into the store and took several photos. At that very moment, an employee approached to me and asked me not to take pictures. He said
"it's prohibited because of the information and communication law."
And I was just like,
"What?"
Well said. It may be the act against the law in the other countries like... I don't know, the US? I never even dreamed that it would happen in Korea. Why? Because Korean people never cared about the law so called "information and communication" in my perception.
It was odd to discover taking picture in the convenience store is prohibited in my country and I felt awkward to delete the pictures I've taken right in front of the employee.
I felt so extraordinary to follow the law.
