At a restaurant in Busan, a so-called 'eat-and-run' report was received that a foreign man and a Korean woman ran away without paying for food, and the police launched an investigation.
Mr. A, who runs a restaurant near Pusan National University, claimed that he had been 'eaten out' through an online community yesterday (12th).
According to Mr. A, a foreign man and a Korean woman visited a restaurant around 7:20 pm on the 11th and stayed for 2 hours and ate 60,000 won worth of food.
After that, they left the restaurant without paying for the food.
The CCTV screen released by Mr. A showed two people eating at a restaurant, and a Korean woman walking out the door of the restaurant with a toothpick in her mouth.
Person A said, "Seeing how proudly he picks up a toothpick and goes out, he doesn't seem to have done it once or twice." He said, "I wonder why he is doing this. I burst into anger.
He continued, "At the time, only my father was in the store, but it was the first time this had happened, so he was embarrassed and said that he went around the neighborhood to find a lap around the neighborhood instead of doing business."
Also, Mr. A said, "During Corona, it's hard because I can't do business, and now that the Corona is over, it's a waste of money." He said, "The price of food is important, but it's hard to handle because bad things overlap."
