On the 22nd, a post titled "What happened when a customer left candy on the table" was uploaded to an online community. The self-employed author, Mr. A, said, "A couple suspected of having an affair who left just before closing time filed a complaint," and continued, "While clearing the table after they left, I found some grape-flavored candy wrapped in shiny packaging like bulk fruit candy for commercial use in a corner and threw it in the trash, which became a problem."

Mr. A explained, "After clearing the tables and cleaning the restroom, about 10 minutes after the customers left, they came back asking for the candy again," and added, "When I told them I had thrown it away, they asked me to search through the entire 50ℓ large trash bag to find the candy." When Mr. A asked, "How am I supposed to find that?" the customers pleaded, "That candy is worth 100,000 won." So, Mr. A and his staff started searching through the trash one by one to find the candy. Eventually, when they found it and handed it over, the customers carefully wrapped the candy in wet wipes and took it with them.

Mr. A asked for opinions, saying, "I heard that drugs these days are packaged like candy. The candy wrapper was bigger than regular candy. I don't think it was round either."

Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "It's probably Viagra (erectile dysfunction medicine), not drugs," "The cheating couple has no shame," "Good for them," "I thought candy was really expensive these days since they said it was 100,000 won, but it was Viagra," "Having an affair while taking Viagra," and "If you think it's drugs, report it. Nowadays, drugs really do come packaged like candy."
