both are stupid... don't open a business if you're not prepared to welcome all members of society

?? The No Kids Zone makes perfect sense if your business is geared towards adults, e.g. bars. A lot of upscale fine dining restaurants that serve expensive meals (like over $100 per plate) also tend to be childfree establishments due to the clientele. Kids have no business being in those types of establishments. Bars and fine dining restaurants are rarely going to have kids meals on the menu, and kids should not be anywhere near bars where alcoholic beverages are the only type of beverage served.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a legally-binding international agreement setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion or abilities. South Korea is not excluded.

If an establishment or place doesn't have a very clear and legal reason to exclude certain age groups (like casinos), it's a discrimination and legit reason to get sued. This 'no-kids' or 'no-seniors' bs wouldn't fly in the west for a second.

No wonder South Korea ranks worst in OECD for poverty in old age and also has the lowest birth rate in the world (!!) when they treat big parts of their own society like this.

actually there are many childfree restaurants in the US: https://cfplaces.com/places/restaurants/
