This is not only true in Korea, but also true in Japan. According to the Japanese newspaper, the mall located in Tokyo recently banned the use of Twitter and blog for the workers in hope of protecting the privacy of the celebrities.

One worker of the mall said, "As it was shown in the picture, Jang GeunSuk is a regular customer of our mall. As he is an important customer to us, we want to avoid troubles of all kinds."
