When I went to Hongdae in Seoul, I saw a very long line in front of one store. I wondered about it. So, I asked what the line was. One person said that it was a club which only teenagers can enter. Since I did not know that there was a teen's club in Hongdae, I was very surprised about it. When I came back home, I thought that a teen's club does not only have advantages like hanging out with friends and stressing out from their life, but it also has disadvantages which are they could be erratic in there.

Teenagers can enjoy in clubs which open on 5 p.m to 10 p.m. They can dance or rest with people, and they can enjoy the party with their friends. In Hongdae's club, there are very good places that teens can hang out where they can dance and play. Teens can not only hang out with their friends but also stress out from their studies.

First, I believe clubbing has advantages for teenagers. Since they are very tired of going to school or academy to study, they need to stress out. The club's entrance fee is only 5,000 won each person, and those who are born in 1998~2005 only need their ID card to prove their age. So, they can play for a cheap price with their friends. The club also prohibits alcoholic drinking and cigarettes to check out the teen's body. The club's president Kim also said that the club is only the place where teens stress out about their studies, so it is fine for them. For the cheap price and bright background hold teen's hearts.

However, clubbing does not only have advantages but disadvantages. Teenagers always come by even in twilight or night, so it is always full of noisy music. Then, people who have lived in there hate that noise and the club itself. Since the club can disrupt the studies of teenagers, they can be erratic and rebellious. Mr. Kim said that he was very afraid that his daughter could be an erratic student, so he did not want his daughter to go to this club. He also said that he was very scared about that.

Teen's club is good in terms of hanging out with friends, but it is also bad in terms of noise and it makes teens become erratic students. It is a very interesting thing for them but not to their parents and adults. I believe that it is good to hang out with friends for teenagers, but they must be careful, then they will enjoy their daily life, stress out from studies and happy.
