Worried sushi restaurateur

The owner of a sushi restaurant at Mongsanpo Beach in Taean County, South Chungcheong Province, points to the December page of this year`s calendar Sunday, where just one day is marked as booked. "Among the four circles, three are for kimchi making and one is for a clan gathering. What worries me more are the days ahead," he said.
