Actress Kim Gyu-ri Denies Closure Rumors of DJ DOC's Restaurant
On October 24, Kim Gyu-ri took to Instagram to clarify, "I was surprised to see an article about a '2-month business suspension' and checked with various sources. I directly contacted them and confirmed that the restaurant is operating normally." She added, "If you intend to criticize or harm others, you should be well-informed first," citing ChatGPT's search results and suggesting, "Even ChatGPT knows, so if you're unsure, at least do some searching..."
Kim expressed, "I feel sorry for causing unnecessary commotion," but warned, "Lee Ha-neul's side plans to file lawsuits against those who engage in defamation and personal attacks. I will also provide information on those leaving malicious comments on my channel."
The controversy began when Kim visited 'Hyeongje Gopchang' in Yeonsinnae, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, for a fan meeting. She recently posted videos and photos on her personal channel showing Lee Ha-neul and Jung Jae-yong performing their hit song 'Run To You' while she danced enthusiastically.
Some netizens reported potential violations of food hygiene laws to the district office. According to these laws, singing or dancing by customers is restricted in general restaurants, and violations can result in business suspensions or even closure. Lee Ha-neul expressed frustration, stating, "Kim Gyu-ri danced after we sang a song, which led to a report. We weren't conducting illegal business or profiting from it, yet we were inspected."
Kim Gyu-ri's Full SNS Statement
I was shocked by the article and asked around.
First, on February 1, we held a gathering at 'Hyeongje Gopchang' on YouTube
I was so surprised by the article that I contacted Lee Ha-neul.
Conclusion.
The business is operating smoothly. Phew~
There's no issue, but it seems like someone is trying to create one.
I wasn't sure either, so I asked ChatGPT.
..
This is what it said. (Details posted in photos)
If you're going to criticize or harm others, you should know what you're doing first. Even ChatGPT knows... if you're unsure, at least search...
And
Journalists should provide accurate information to prevent chaos in society.
Thanks to this, I learned something too.
Anyway.
Asking for a song to create a more enjoyable atmosphere seems to have caused this commotion. I apologize to the owners of 'Hyeongje Gopchang.' I'll be more careful next time.
Additionally, for those who go beyond business disruption to personal attacks, 'Hyeongje Gopchang' plans to file lawsuits. I'll provide information on those leaving malicious comments on my channel.
Please show more interest in 'Hyeongje Gopchang,' and let's support them by visiting and enjoying their food. I "greatly" support all small business owners, including 'Hyeongje Gopchang'!
