‘Social gatherings’, which recruit participants through online communities and provide alcohol in exchange for membership fees, are spreading. Such gatherings can often be found in apps or platforms used by the public, such as KakaoTalk open chat room or Carrot Market. However, users are required to be careful as they may be subject to punishment according to relevant laws if they repeatedly hold gatherings without a liquor sales license or business registration. According to the information technology (IT) industry on the 14th, many gatherings that provide alcohol and food in the name of ‘wine parties’ and ‘solo parties’ are being operated on online platforms and small gathering applications (apps) in the name of ‘wine parties’ and ‘solo parties’. Usually, if you pay a membership fee or a monthly fee to attend a meeting, alcoholic beverages, etc. are provided, and other expenses, such as snacks, are shared among the attendees. If you continuously or repeatedly charge a participation fee and provide alcohol and food for business purposes, you must register as a business under the Value Added Tax Act. Additionally, if you wish to sell or provide alcohol, you must receive a license from the head of the competent tax office in accordance with the ‘Act on Liquor Licenses, etc.’
