Earlier, YouTuber A ordered and ate for 2 people alone at a restaurant in Yeosu and was told by the owner that "It's not just a lady coming." The controversy began when he released a video of him hearing rude words and actions such as "'Eat quickly' and "'You can just take 20,000 won.'"
The video spread rapidly, and Yeosu City visited the restaurant in person on the 16th to provide administrative guidance related to hygiene and service. On the 18th, he even held a "kindness campaign" at Yi Sun-shin Square. However, the restaurant caused another controversy by claiming that it was filmed without consent and that there was a misunderstanding because the YouTuber's voice was loud.
As the controversy intensified, the broadcaster Satire, who introduced the restaurant, met with A on the 19th to apologize and comfort him in person, and predicted the production of Yeosu's revisiting contents.
Yeosu City also issued an official position on the 24th and apologized for the unkind case"We will prepare practical measures such as making a manual for responding to one-person customers, designating restaurants that can serve one-person customers, and strengthening kindness education." he said. Mayor of Yeosu Chung Ki-myung said, "We will do our best to transform into a friendly city, Yeosu."."
