On the 26th, according to Ulleung County and other sources, the military had suspended operations against a restaurant that had recently caused controversy with its fatty pork belly meat, citing violations of the Food Sanitation Act.
The restaurant was suspended for seven days from the 1st to the 31st. Prior to this, a YouTuber had posted a YouTube video on the 19th titled "Is Ulleungdo really like this?"
The video caused controversy. In the video, the YouTuber said that he ordered two servings of samgyeopsal at a yakiniku restaurant, but was served pork front leg meat that was more than half fat.
The video caused controversy when it showed how the air conditioner in the hotel broke but they received no special treatment or apology. The video was viewed more than 1.1 million times in the two days after it was released, and three days later,
The video has been viewed over 2 million times, and complaints about the high cost of living and poor hospitality on Ulleungdo have spread. As the uproar grew, the restaurant owner said, "When I went to the hospital because I was feeling unwell, I had to take out the front leg of the pig that I had set aside for making chige.
It appears that the meat was served by mistake. It was a mistake," he explained. Nam Han-kwon, the Ulleung County governor of Ulleung Island, also said, "We deeply regret the disappointment and concern that has been caused by the exposure of the reality of Ulleung tourism.
We would like to offer our apologies. We will take strong and continuous measures to prevent this from happening again," the official apology said. Ulleung County will support the formation of a private-level tourism service industry council and promote service standardization.
If any problems arise, the county will provide guidance and award rewards to businesses that are kind and excellent.
I ask everyone in the country to take an active interest and participate in this effort. I also ask the public to watch over Ulleung's efforts and cooperate with them."
