Singer and painter Solbi directly apologized for the controversy over the mold cake.
Solbi posted a post on his SNS on the 6th and said, "I sincerely apologize for the recent happenings at the cafe. First of all, I am very sorry to the victim. I must have been very surprised. Hearing that the child ate the cake, he said “I am so upset and my heart aches,” he said.
“I also sincerely apologize to the victim, and I will do my best to take responsibility for this to be resolved.” “If I knew what happened on March 1st right then, there would have been a part that I could solve together. , Yesterday, I received the news through an acquaintance, not through the cafe side. I am also sorry for this part. I am also sad and sorry to think of the victim who would have been difficult during the period I did not know about the incident."
"Apart from all the facts related to the operation of the cafe, I am very sorry for causing concern for this incident that happened in the space where my name was hung. Regardless of various circumstances, this incident has made me feel more responsible for the name." Thankfully, people visited this space to buy a cake after seeing my name. I will take a more sense of weight and responsibility and look carefully so as not to cause confusion for many people.”
Earlier, on the 5th, a consumer article reported that mold came out of a cake purchased at a café chain store famous for the cake designed by Solby.
Consumer A angered that the child ate the cake, saying that the child "the inside of the cake was filled with mold and hardly found the part of the bread."
In addition, the café's profane response was pinpointed and insisted, "I only presented the money to cover the agreement immediately without asking about the child's regards."
As the criticism spread, the cafe side clarified and apologized through the official SNS.
The cafe side said that a part-time employee accidentally sold the cake for the exhibition. "I met the customer in person and apologized several times. I want writer Kwon Ji-an (Solbi), who shares a space with you, to do secondary damage with this work, too. I apologized.
However, the apology provoked a greater criticism, saying that he felt more sorry for Solbi than a customer who had been given responsibility for a part-time employee's mistake and suffered damage.
As the controversy continued, the cafe side finally apologized again.
The cafe side said, "I am sorry for making customers more uncomfortable by hastily posted the situation description of this incident in writing, which may cause another misunderstanding. It is not intended to be handed over to the responsibility of the part-timer and staff, leaving for display and sale, and this work is entirely ours. The company's responsibility," he bowed again and again.
In addition, the cafe representative's handwritten apology was additionally released, saying, "We sincerely apologize to the person who purchased the product and have suffered damage, and we will come back to see you again and offer a sincere apology, and we will do our best for the family. I apologize for not being able to respond sincerely after seeing it.”
Regarding Solbi, he said, "As an artist, we are repeatedly sorry for the damage to Mr. Solbi, who shares the same space with us as an artist. Mr. Solbi did not have anything to do with the operation of the cafe, so he was lacking in consideration," he said.
