[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] The Pobangteo Donkatsu restaurant 'Yeondon,' which gained popularity after appearing on the show Golmok Sikdang, is still facing difficulties even after relocating to Jeju Island.


On the 4th, a post about 'Yeondon,' the Pobangteo Market Donkatsu restaurant that reopened in Jeju Island, was uploaded on an online community.


The post titled "Yeondon's recent situation last night" included a photo of a police car dispatched to the scene. The author wrote, "There was a police dispatch because people waiting in line got into a quarrel. Every day feels like a war."


Netizens who saw this expressed concern about Yeondon continuing to face difficulties even after moving to Jeju Island. Since the owner couple had already experienced various hardships due to excessive attention while running the store at Pobangteo Market, many netizens left messages expressing their worries for them.

However, another netizen claiming to have been at the scene posted a rebuttal, saying, "It was absolutely not a fight among people waiting in line," sparking a new controversy.


They added, "In the early morning, a drunken man broke the store's door, and the people waiting in line reported it. The intoxicated man was taken away by the police. If there had been no people waiting in line, a bigger incident could have occurred. He tried to break in by destroying the store."


Previously, on the last day of business at Pobangteo Market in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, a scene where the police came and struggled with troublemakers was broadcast through Golmok Sikdang. Although the owner decided to relocate to Jeju Island due to various complaints, netizens are voicing calls for self-restraint as controversies continue even in Jeju.
