A restaurant in Busan has come under fire for making degrading remarks towards Mukbang star BJ Gamdongran (감동란), whose real name is Kim So-eun.
The 30-year-old South Korean was at a restaurant doing a food review via live broadcast a few days ago. In the midst of her food tasting, she had to excuse herself for a short toilet break, and that’s when things got uncomfortable.
While she was away, a few of the restaurant staff could be heard making rude comments about BJ Gamdongran. Besides commenting that “her face is not pretty at all”, they also poked fun at her large boobs and bluntly assumed that she wasn’t wearing any underwear.
When she returned to her table, BJ Gamdongran was surprised of the comments from her live audience. Unbeknownst to them, the workers didn’t realise that the live broadcast was on-going and her followers heard everything they said out loud. This obviously didn’t sit well with the YouTuber and she left the eatery feeling upset.
Since then, the aforementioned restaurant has released a written apology note. The management apologised on behalf of the lady employees who slut shamed BJ Gamdongran about her appearance and asked for forgiveness from her and the public. Knowing that their restaurant name has been tarnished after the incident, the management promised to reflect and be better moving forward.
The video, which was posted on BJ Gamdongran’s YouTube channel, has since garnered over a million views (and counting). Watch it here:
