Actor Gu Bon-seung has joined in supporting actor Lee Dong-geon, who recently opened a cafe in Jeju Island. On the 16th, Gu Bon-seung shared a photo on his SNS with the caption, “I sat down for a moment to catch my breath, and it turned out to be a photo spot.” In the photo, Gu Bon-seung is sitting at an outdoor table in a cafe decorated with exotic props against a red wall, smiling brightly. Previously, Gu Bon-seung had expressed his support for Lee Dong-geon by saying, “My beloved younger brother and junior actor Lee Dong-geon is opening a cafe in Jeju Aewol, and it’s really happening.” He also mentioned, “It looks like there might be an aquarium (or a swimming pool?) and it seems like a perfect place for eating raw fish.” Meanwhile, Lee Dong-geon started operating his cafe in Jeju Aewol-eup on the 14th. However, just three days later, he became the center of controversy as surrounding merchants complained of inconvenience. On the 16th, a cafe owner, Mr. A, near Lee Dong-geon’s cafe, posted on SNS, “I couldn’t even sleep because they were working on construction until 11 p.m.” and “They seem to be using our parking lot. I have no grudge against my cafe, but the other cafes, even though I promote them, are not making a good impression.” Another person, presumed to be another cafe owner, Mr. B, wrote, “There are people living here, but they kept working late into the night just to accommodate filming schedules.” He added, “It’s not about losing sales because of a neighboring cafe. I’d rather see rude people doing well than those who help me make money.” In response, some internet users pointed out that working on construction late into the night is indeed a nuisance, while others argued that the neighboring merchants were being overly sensitive.
