[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] It was recently revealed that members of an online community composed of coffee shop operators posted and mocked photos of customers captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV).

On the 23rd, a CCTV capture photo of a woman was posted on the Naver cafe 'National Cafe Owners Association.'

The poster wrote, "A young lady speaking with a metropolitan accent whom I had never seen before asked, 'Can I drink my beverage on the terrace?' When I said she could also drink inside the store, she said, 'Oh, that's great~ In the metropolitan area, we still can't drink there.' I wondered why a metropolitan girl came alone to this rural area. Her bare legs and sandals were striking," adding.

Members commented on the post, saying, "It's winter, but her toes look so cold," and "She might be communicating with somewhere in outer space." In response, the poster mockingly replied, "Her outfit was different, and her mindset seemed different too."

As the post spread through the community and beyond, some netizens criticized, saying, "Foolish cafe owner. She'll probably say business is bad because of this," "Who would want to go to a cafe if it's scary," "Wherever you go, be careful what you say and do," and "I also run a cafe, and these days every customer is precious. The poster seems out of her mind."

As the controversy escalated, the 'National Cafe Owners Association' eventually issued an official statement apologizing.

In the apology, the association stated, "We have nothing to say even if we had ten mouths. We bow our heads and sincerely apologize," and added, "We will be more careful with every post and comment. We will strive to prevent such incidents from happening again."

The association further urged users, "(This incident) was wrong regardless of the reason," and requested, "Please keep in mind that even a thoughtlessly posted post or comment can cause great hurt and public outrage to someone."
