Popular K-Pop Idol’s Response To A Dilemma On Drinking Triggers Divided Reactions
Recently, an online community post went viral after a K-pop idol gave their honest thoughts regarding Dutch pay when it comes to people who don’t drink.
NCT’s Johnny recently made a new YouTube series, 쟌소리, in which he listens to people’s dilemmas and tries to give advice or solutions.
Dilemma 4: Do people who don’t drink still have to pay the same amount when going out with friends?
Dutch pay for drinks when they don’t drink anything? No way. If you didn’t drink any alcohol, why do they have to pay? Am I the strange one here?
— Johnny
He was even more shocked after he heard the response from the production team.
Even if you didn’t drink, you were still together, enjoying the atmosphere.

Alright, but if I didn’t drink anything and yet, I was the mood maker, then I should be receiving money!
— Johnny
With this, netizens were divided in their response to the dilemma.
- “If you don’t drink even a sip of alcohol, then don’t they usually take you off the tab? That’s what we do…we only pay together for the food.”
- “I don’t drink and yet they split the bill all the time, even when it’s expensive alcohol like wine.”
- “I don’t drink, but I love the atmosphere of meeting people, so if they take me off the tab, I’m thankful, but if not, I’m ok too. Instead, I eat a lot of the food. Just think of it as paying for the fun.”
- “My friends always send me the amount without the alcohol fee.”
- “They never take me off the tab.”
