[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Baek Jong-won of 'Golmok Sikdang' was greatly disappointed with the Seosan Bulgogi restaurant that lost its original spirit.

On the afternoon of the 10th, SBS entertainment program 'Baek Jong-won's Golmok Sikdang' (Golmok Sikdang) aired a special episode featuring an emergency inspection of Haemieupseong in Seosan.

On this day, before inspecting the Seosan Bulgogi restaurant, Baek Jong-won checked social network service (SNS) reviews. The SNS reviews continued to express disappointment about the kimchi and somyeon combination. This combination had been highly praised during the broadcast.

Additionally, netizens expressed their dissatisfaction through SNS with comments such as "There were piles of vegetables instead of meat," "It was problematic during the broadcast and seems unchanged. The service was unfriendly and the menu explanation was sloppy," "The price was expensive with multiple additional charges," and "The owner did not appear, and the part-time worker was only looking at her phone."

Later, the 'Golmok Sikdang' staff visited the Seosan Bulgogi restaurant and ordered the representative dish, the piled-up bulgogi. After tasting it, the staff gave harsh reviews such as "The meat is bland," "It feels like it’s not seasoned," "The broth is bland," and "It tastes bad."

Baek Jong-won personally visited the Bulgogi restaurant and ordered the problematic piled-up bulgogi. He pointed out the pre-boiled somyeon during cooking, saying, "Is this served to customers? Why is the noodle like this?" expressing his disbelief.

Then, facing the nervous Bulgogi restaurant owner, Baek Jong-won said, "There are many bad reviews on SNS. There were also comments about unfriendly service." In response, the owner explained, "We are doing our best. When customers come, we treat them politely. But maybe customers are not satisfied with us."

After tasting the piled-up bulgogi, Baek Jong-won spat out the meat and said, "It smells." It turned out that the bulgogi had been packaged for over ten days.

Baek Jong-won scolded, "Why haven’t you tried ordering from other places? Wasn’t it hard because there were no customers? If it were me, I would have gone to the slaughterhouse to find meat. You didn’t care about the store."

He added, "I’m not picking a fight for no reason. I shouldn’t use such expressions, but it feels like reckless business. I wonder since when they have been running such a complacent business."
