On the 26th, JTBC revealed the story of informant A, who received a complaint from a neighbor due to food odors, through the program 'Incident Room.'

The note A received read, "To the person who cooked kimchi jjigae around 7 p.m. on Friday, January 12, and the person who cooked doenjang jjigae around 10 p.m. on Saturday, January 13. Please open the door and turn on the ventilation fan while cooking."

Ten days later, another note was posted on the front door. It said, "To the person who cooked kimchi jjigae around 3:50 p.m. on Wednesday, January 24. Please turn on the ventilation fan and open the door while cooking."

A said, "I received it twice," and added, "It's not even a different food; it's a stew that Koreans often eat, so it feels really unpleasant." He continued, "The notes were not only on my door but on every door on the floor," and explained, "I reported this feeling of frustration, wondering if I can't even cook stew in my own home."
