One of the most popular things to do on New Year's Day in South Korea is to watch the year's first sunrise along the East Coast. But this time, there won't be thousands of people packed at Jeongdongjin Beach in Gangwon-do Province or at Pohang's Homigot Sunrise Square in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province either. By closing beaches and sealing off parking lots, local governments are taking preventative measures. The coastal city of Gangneung in Gangwon-do Province will even fly drones overhead to check for possible trespassers. And restaurants in the area can only offer take-out or delivery until 3 PM on New Year's Day.
