“It’s a bloody livelihood for other cafe owners”
Comparing to the daughters of the chaebol, “not as influential”
Jeon Yeo-ok, a former Saenuri Party (currently People’s Power) lawmaker, shot at the couple Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon, who opened a cafe on Jeju Island, saying, “Do you really need to open a coffee shop?”
The former lawmaker said on his Facebook on the 3rd, “Opening a coffee shop for Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon is like a hobby of ‘coffee love’ with ‘broadcast’ and ‘music’.”
Previously, Hyori Lee and Sangsoon Lee opened a small cafe in Dongbok-ri, Gujwa-eup, Jeju-do on the 1st. After that, Lee Sang-soon brewed her coffee herself, and Lee Hyori started taking pictures with customers who visited her cafe.
As the ingredients ran out quickly, a situation occurred where customers who had been waiting for a long time had to turn around. In response, Lee Sang-soon posted an apology on the cafe’s Instagram and announced that it would be operated by reservation system in the future. It had only been two days since he opened the cafe.
In this regard, a former lawmaker wrote, “In Jeju, around 600,000 population, there was a 100m line as soon as it opened at 9 o’clock. Eventually, they ran out of coffee ingredients, so they wrote that the business was closed in 12 minutes.”
He pointed out, “It’s great competitiveness that Lee Sang-soon brews coffee and Lee Hyori takes photos with customers, but this will destroy other nearby coffee shops. Why do I want these people to open a coffee shop?”
He said, “It’s a bloody livelihood for most coffee shop owners,” he said. did.
He continued, “Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon are no less than the sons of chaebols. No, they are better. Umberto Eco said, ‘The royal family of this age is a celebrity.’ Do I have to open a coffee shop?” he asked.
