Ziyang, a popular foodie YouTuber with 3.04 million subscribers, directly explained the controversy over the price of snacks.



On the 19th, Ziyang responded to the controversy in the form of a press conference by uploading a video titled'This is a video about the price controversy' on his YouTube channel.



Earlier, Ziyang announced the opening of a snack restaurant named after him near Isu Station in Seoul.

He had a tasting event by inviting only acquaintances during the opening period, and the photos and menus of the restaurant that he took were released through social media, but it was pointed out that the amount of food was too small for the price, resulting in price controversy.



In the video, Ziyang said, "I'm sorry for causing price controversy even before the store opened," but said, "We haven't even opened it yet."

In addition, the photos uploaded on social media said, "It was tested to get acquaintances to get taste, price, and service feedback."



Ziyang said, "The 9000 won tteokbokki is for 2 servings. The rice cake weight is over 2 servings. The amount is not small," said Ziyang.

The image of the tteokbokki in the photo released online was "I made a mistake in choosing the plate." He explained that the amount of tteokbokki was taken from the top with a rounded pasta bowl.



Next, Ziyang said, "There seems to be a lot of problems with the amount and price, but I will show you this myself."

Another tteokbokki maker compared the amount and weight of tteokbokki at a similar price point.



As a result of comparison, the weight of tteokbokki (752g) and 702g (jampon tteokbokki), which will be sold for 9,000 won in the garden bunsik, did not differ in weight from other tteokbokkis.

Rather, it was a larger amount.



Ziyang said, "Because the bowl is hollow, it looks flat and looks small. I think I bought a misunderstanding," and "The bowl is an expensive bowl because I bought it for money. I will change this."



In addition, regarding the point that the price of a Montecristo sandwich of 8,000 won is expensive, "There was a slight misunderstanding. Originally, the amount was a little higher. (At a tasting event) I reduced the number of pieces to make it possible to taste a lot of different foods. I will increase the number," he explained.



Finally, Ziyang responded to the criticism of'it seems to know the business easily.' "It was not absolutely easy to know. Fans can see it, donate with profits, and it started with a good meaning. He gave a lot of opinions. , I am very confident in the store. I will always try hard in the future."
