Following the 'No Kids Zone', the 'No Middle Age(Elder/Senior) Zone' appeared.
After No Kids Zone, various establishments such as No Study Zone, No Youtuber Zone, and No Middle Age Zone that block access to specific groups started to spurt.
Recently, on social media, a campsite that banned reservations for couples over 40 became controversial. The citizen said on SNS said "I feel offended because of my age." "I was looking for a campsite, but found one place, couples over 40 can't take reservations. The reason being it was a place with an atmosphere where young people come so [elders] don't suit the vibe” he posted on the 16th.
There was a series of comments criticizing it as clear discrimination. One netizen wrote, "Korea is a very transparent and discriminatory country." There were also complaints about the whole ‘No 00 Zone’ situation, which has become more and more common in daily lives. One netizen said, "It is still quiet now because young children do not have the right to speak loudly (t/n: speaking about No Kids Zone)," and said, "If it was the No Ajumma Zone, No Ajussi Zone, and No Man Zone, people would've stoop up for themselves calling it discriminatory".
In the case of a caravan campsite in the metropolitan area (a mobile house that can be hung and dragged from a car), on the 26th, as a result of validating the claims, they confirmed that they did not accept reservations from middle-aged people because they said they did not fit the 'shop concept'. The owner stated that, in addition to customers in their 40s or older, they do not accept mixed men and women teams, teams with five or more women, and men's teams.
The establishment announced through a notice that “the campground is a multi-use facility and soundproofing is poor.” “In order to prevent problems caused by high-pitched banging and excessive drinking, the overall concept of the shop became a couple-only and female-only campsite.” They emphasized again, “The caravan is tailored to the tastes of customers in their 20s and 30s, especially young women, so the concept does not fit at all with customers in their 40s or older.”
The National Human Rights Commission of Korea judged that the age-based restrictions on No Kids Zone in 2017 were unreasonable and constituted an act of discrimination against children. In relation to the case of A, who ran a No Kids Zone restaurant on Jeju Island in November 2016, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea found that the No Kids Zone business violated Article 2, No. 3 of the National Human Rights Commission Act. This provision stipulates that it is a discriminatory treatment based on gender, religion, age, appearance, etc.
The Human Rights Committee said, “Article 11 of the Constitution stipulates that ‘no one shall be discriminated against in all areas of political, economic, social and cultural life on the basis of gender, religion or social status’.” However, “Freedom of business is not unrestricted,”. The Human Rights Commission “recommended” not to discriminate against children based on their age without reasonable reasons.
If the Anti-Discrimination Act is enforced, and if the No Kids Zone is operated, it will be classified as discrimination, and the operator will be given a corrective order, and in case of non-compliance, it is expected that the victim will be able to receive support such as legal aid. However, the Anti-Discrimination Act has not crossed the threshold of the National Assembly for 15 years since the government submitted the bill to the National Assembly following the recommendation of the Human Rights Commission in 2006.
Shin Kyungah, a sociology professor at Hallim University, said, “Of course, it is a business place, but it is a clear violation of human rights to prevent a specific group from coming to a certain place or space."
Professor Shin said, “In a way, ‘privilege’ is given to those who can enter the space. Children, the elderly, and the middle-aged are separated and excluded,” she said. “Separating and excluding certain groups is a dangerous phenomenon that encourages intergenerational conflict.”

1. This doesn't even surprises me, No Kids Zone has become the norm now
2. I'm turning 40 in one month.. ㅎㅎㅎ
3. So they can just gather in a place where there are no kids and no seniors and live on their own
4. So scary, this is going to fuel hatred slowly...
5. This just means that the owners of those businesses are r*tards. They're just planting the seed for another generational war
6. Do these people think they'll never age?ㅡㅡ
7. I'm so shocked seeing people considering anything No OO Zone discriminatory and hateful, but when it comes to No Kids Zone, they say that it's not hatred..
I can't help but laugh at the logic where they say that kids can disturb other guests, so No Kids Zone isn't considered hate.
There's no way to reason with these people, so what do you expect them to understand?
8. No Kids Zone is so so, but this No Senior Zone makes me wonder if they aren't aware they will also age?ㅋㅋ Are there any other society in this world as selfish as ours? This f*cking sucks. If these people's parents went somewhere and got f*cking ignored at, will they stay still?ㅋㅋ
9.I knew that the people who agreed with No Kids Zone would never agree with No Senior Zoneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ These people who love No Kids Zone are mostly in their late 30s
10. And people were okay with No Kids Zone just a moment ago?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Me too I hope to not see ajussis anymore~~
11. We need to create the No Rude Customer Zone
12. No Elder Zone...? No way... Do they not know that elders are the ones who spend the most in businesses?
13. Just go ahead and create No Teens Zone, No 20s Zone, No 30s Zone and No Human Zone while you're at it
14. Do they not age themselves? No Kids Zone already sucks, but this one seriously sucks
15. The businesses who are declaring themselves "No OO Zone" will be the first one to call for discrimination when their group will be in the No OO Zone
16. Since you guys were okay with No Kids Zone, surely you need to conform to No Elder Zone tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I personally hate both
17. Do whatever you want but I'm not gonna visit your place
18. I bet people who will turn 20s and 30s will abuse their power soon
19. So they only want to earn money from people in their 20s and 30s?ㅋㅋ I bet they'll get sulky when they find they can't earn money
20. I did agree with No Kids Zone for a little while in the past, but I realized how short sighted I was. You shouldn't treat people based on any group they belong
