A restaurant that was recently visited by BTS member Jungkook is facing backlash after a staff member uploaded a controversial video involving the idol’s leftover food.
According to fans, Jungkook recently visited the restaurant and even left behind a signed autograph, leading to excitement among both staff and customers.
However, the mood quickly shifted after a video uploaded by a restaurant employee began circulating online. The clip allegedly showed one staff member eating food left behind by Jungkook, accompanied by the caption, “Why are you eating Jungkook’s leftovers?”
The video immediately sparked criticism from fans, who argued that the post crossed personal and professional boundaries.
Why did the owner of the restaurant that jungkook shared today shoot such a video? Eat the leftover food from jungkook and make a video to share it on ig? What are you doing? Jungkook even left an autograph. Why don't you respect him?
