Regarding this research, by analyzing the developments before and after resulting from the changes of the self-employment management environment before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the purpose is to reveal to what extent the ability to influence on the self-employed. It had been empirically analyzed. If we see the results, they are as the following: Entering into the 3rd year after the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, entirely, it could not recover to the level before the COVID-19. And, with the COVID-19 becoming long term, the management situation of the face-to-face service business had been worsened. And, especially, the extent of the worsening of the management of the self-employment had shown somewhat a difference by the type of the business. And, in the cases of the daily necessities wholesale business, the educational service business, and the individual service business, although it did not reach the level before the COVID-19, it recovered to the level of 80%~90% of the sales in the year 2019. In contrast, regarding the lodging business, the restaurant and bar businesses, the information communication equipment retail business, and the visiting and delivery retail business, the sales based on the year 2022 had decreased. This can be interpreted that there had been considerably many self-employed people who chose the closure of the business because they could not manage the debt that had been increased during the 3 years of the COVID-19. And, especially, as the first time after the outbreak of the COVID-19, the self-employed people who chose to close the business during the 2nd spreading period (August 2020), which did not allow the indoor eating, had been the most. It proved that, the more the social distancing had been strengthened, they had been the sacrifices of the self-employed people.
