SEOUL - If you're a child, there are certain places in South Korea that do not welcome you.
I'm not talking about fine-dining restaurants, bars or clubs. Most of the "no-kids zones" are hipster cafes and casual eateries filled with Instagrammable corners to draw young customers who want to sip their fancy lattes without being disturbed by rowdy - and potentially misbehaving - children.
