A travel YouTuber who revealed rude service at a restaurant in Yeosu recommended by YouTuber Pungja, stated, "It was worse than the video."
On the 19th, content titled "I met the crowded guest in Yeosu" was released on the YouTube Studio Handmade channel. Pungja exchanged stories with YouTuber A, who exposed the rude service at the Yeosu restaurant.
On that day, Pungja greeted A, saying, "Thank you very much. I know this is a very difficult step. Since you said you would come, I thought, 'How would you come? It must be a very tough spot, how did you decide to come?' Since it became an issue, I thought it could be really hard for you to come due to the overwhelming attention and interest."
A said, "I received a lot of interview requests. I was really scared, but I thought I had to come here because people were cursing a lot after I went to 'Ttoganjip' where people were cursing a lot, and I felt sorry as a subscriber for the excessive cursing Pungja-nim is getting because of me. I want to clear up the misunderstanding that I didn't go there to condemn the area. I think it's right to talk to Pungja-nim, who is the starting point of this situation."
At that time, A explained about the situation, saying, "I found out that the exact date of my visit was May 20. After my exam was over, I really like Yeosu, so I go there often enough for everyone around me to know. I thought it would be good to visit famous places where people like food and shoot a video, just a simple thought. Since I went to Yeosu, I thought, 'I should eat a bowl of rice.'"
A recounted the situation, saying, "There was one table with people who came with children, and four mothers were dining at the table across from me. Suddenly, when one table of customers entered, and then another table, it was just starting to get crowded. The owner suddenly yelled. Honestly, I regretted not being able to film that moment because people are reacting so strongly based on what I filmed. It was worse than that."
Furthermore, A mentioned, "I planned to quickly film after eating one or two bites, and while I was thinking about eating and leaving, I had my camera down. When I turned it on and hit record, they said, 'We don't do that here.' They spoke very gently," and added, "So I thought, 'This is very mild.' There were already children eating and four mothers at the table, so if I lied about it, I'd be worse. It was really more severe."
In response, Pungja asked, "As far as I know, there was no prior consent," and inquired whether there was consent for filming. A replied, "I didn't just visit to eat; I thought I might as well want to film, and if it's a place I wanted to visit, I had to ask. Since I would be at a loss otherwise. I ordered a lot of food, and during my meal, if they said, 'Why are you filming? We don't like this kind of thing,' then that would make it impossible to use the video after investing time and money. This time, I felt that 'there are times when I need to film everything.' I realized that one comment not being filmed has led to all this happening to me."
Earlier, the YouTuber claimed that despite ordering two servings at a famous restaurant in Yeosu alone, she received hints to "eat quickly and go" from the owner after about 20 minutes. The restaurant is known to be featured on Pungja's popular YouTube channel, which further fueled the outrage.
