DJ DOC's Lee Ha-Neul has personally addressed the controversy surrounding his derogatory remarks about office workers and the complaint filed against his tripe restaurant.
DJ DOC member Lee Ha-Neul expressed his displeasure in a video posted on his social media regarding derogatory remarks about office workers and the flood of complaints directed at the restaurant he operates. Lee Ha-Neul took a firm stance against online trolls, noting that his daily earnings are double a typical office worker’s monthly salary.
Lee Ha-Neul addressed the situation where over 1,000 complaints were filed against the tripe restaurant in Seoul’s Eunpyeong-gu district that he co-runs with Jeong Jae-yong, claiming that the allegations were untrue. In particular, she clarified that the suspension of business operations—allegedly due to violations of the Food Sanitation Act and noise issues that occurred during actress Kim Gyu-ri’s fan meeting in the past—was based on false information, and that the noise levels were within normal limits.
However, the public’s reaction to these remarks remains cold. Netizens are pointing out that Lee Ha-Neul’s words and actions are inappropriate and are pouring out critical opinions, including comparisons to the circumstances surrounding the death of her younger brother in the past.
