"No Harm to Customers... Please Understand"
Netizens Split: "Crossed the Line" VS "Personal Opinion"

A restaurant has sparked controversy by attaching stickers on delivery food urging President Yoon Suk-yeol to step down.


On the 16th, a post titled "The owner campaigning for Yoon Suk-yeol's resignation" was uploaded on an online community. The author posted a photo showing a sticker promoting protests calling for President Yoon Suk-yeol's resignation on delivery food and complained to the store, saying, "I did not pay to buy the owner's political views."


The store responded in the comments, "We believe we must fight for our survival. There is no harm to customers who place orders," adding, "This country is in an era of dictatorship, and only I am suffering. We ask for your understanding and apologize. Please sign [the petition]."

As a result, the post rapidly spread through various online communities and social networking services (SNS), sparking heated debates with dozens of related comments.


One netizen expressed, "It feels refreshing. I want to support them financially (a pun on '혼쭐' meaning 'a good scolding')," showing curiosity about the location of the restaurant.


On the other hand, some expressed negative opinions such as, "Such businesses should be reported," and "I don't like stores that show political colors."


Meanwhile, a public opinion poll released on the 15th showed that President Yoon Suk-yeol's approval rating for his administration has risen for three consecutive weeks.


According to a survey conducted by Realmeter commissioned by Media Tribune from the 8th to the 12th, targeting 2,503 voters aged 18 and over nationwide, positive evaluations of President Yoon's state affairs increased by 2.2 percentage points from the previous week to 36.8%.


The positive rating has been on the rise for three consecutive weeks since late April, when the U.S. state visit and the Korea-U.S. summit took place, while negative evaluations dropped by 1.7 percentage points from the previous survey to 60.8%.
