One day earlier, during an inspection by the Administrative Management Police Department for Social Order, in coordination with the Criminal Police Department, officers discovered multiple individuals, both male and female, in VIP room 6 engaged in provocative dancing and not fully clothed.

Police urged owners of sensitive service businesses, such as karaoke bars, massage parlors, and lodging establishments, to enhance their management responsibility over staff and customers. They stressed the importance of strict adherence to legal regulations and preventing their premises from being exploited for illegal activities.
