A franchise chicken restaurant owner apologized after posting a message celebrating the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, which sparked controversy.
According to an online community on the 9th, a chicken restaurant owner in Namdong-gu, Incheon, displayed a message on the electronic sign at the entrance of the store on the 4th, when the Constitutional Court announced the impeachment of former President Yoon: "Thank you, citizens, for impeaching the respondent Yoon Suk-yeol."
As this photo spread through the community, some supporters of former President Yoon left malicious reviews on the store, carrying out a review bombing.
"If a business owner shows a biased political stance, they must bear the consequences," "Let's just fry the chicken well," "Red chicken," "It's well received by people from China," "Is this a meeting place for communists?" they wrote.
In response, those who supported the impeachment of former President Yoon left reviews saying, "Hang in there, boss," "I will definitely stop by if I go to Incheon," raising the average rating of the store to '4.5' that morning.
As the controversy spread, the restaurant owner posted an apology stating, "I sincerely apologize for the inappropriate political-related content recently exposed outside the store that caused inconvenience."
