Actor Lee Dong-gun opened a cafe on Jeju Island, sparking controversy due to criticism from nearby cafe owners.

Mr. A, who runs a cafe, recently wrote on his personal account, "Lee Dong-gun Cafe, which opened after our cafe. It was constructed until 11 p.m., so I couldn't sleep, and Jin-soon (dog) in the yard had a hard time. I guess the parking lot uses our parking lot. I don't have any regrets about my cafe, so I even promote other cafes, but it's not a good impression to start."

B, who runs another cafe, also complained by sharing A's post. He said "There are people who live here, but they did it late at night to set the filming date. Isn't it polite to ask for understanding first. Even in protest, the construction was carried out until 11 p.m. " he claimed.




Mr. B is then thinking about changing the name of the cafe to 'T-ara Cafe' for "Honey Jamgak" and inducing (people) to take a picture of Lee Dong-gun Cafe (photo) and take a picture of our cafe. He even indirectly mentioned Ji-yeon, a member of T-ara who was Lee Dong-gun's past lover, saying, "He pays back with no manners when it's not polite."

Netizens who saw the post said, "It was too much to do construction until 11 p.m", Criticism was raised, such as "'These days, residential construction is not done on Sundays' and "'What is the selfishness of construction until late at night just because one's own store is opened?' At the same time, there are also criticisms directed at nearby cafe owners. This is because it raised viewers' eyebrows by mentioning the actor's past privacy, which is not related to the issue at all. In response, netizens left comments such as "Why do you mention your ex-lover?","That's too much to talk about", and "Cross the line".
