In a report on South Korea's high-end entertainment industry, it was revealed that corporate credit card spending reached 624 billion won last year, primarily concentrated in hostess clubs. This amount marked an increase of 61 billion won from the previous year and made up 0.4 percent of total corporate credit card expenditure. The data, provided by the South Korean National Tax Service to Rep. Park Seong-hoon, included establishments defined under the Enforcement Degree Act on the Regulation of Amusement Business Affecting Public Morals, such as upscale hostess bars and restaurants featuring entertainment by predominantly female staff. Specifically, the breakdown showed that 341 billion won was spent at hostess bars offering private rooms known as "room salons," while 131 billion won was allocated to "dalanjujeom" venues where singing and drinking activities take place. Traditional-style hostess bars, dinner theaters, and nightclubs also saw corporate card sales amounting to 80 billion won, 54 billion won, and 18 billion won, respectively. Despite a decline in corporate card usage in entertainment businesses since the early 2010s, attributed partially to COVID-19 restrictions leading to a sharp decrease in sales to 212 billion won in 2021, the industry has seen a three-fold rebound in just three years.
