No nice and tidy ending for this. I have a feeling this will be yet another watershed moment where we see the government abandoning pragmatism and going straight for ideological and religious dogma to clamp down on vice without thinking of unintended consequences.

And it's also fucked up la, legit KTVs like Teoheng and Maneki Kinoko have to close shop but these KTVs can still operate... just because their business model is based off selling alcohol and the money drawn in by hostesses (commissions, fees, patronage etc).

damn bro, you're very insightful
