The post was written by a person identified as A, who stated, “A few days ago, my husband, child, and I ordered the same drink at the cafe. This drink contained an unbelievable amount of plastic pieces. My husband and I received a medical opinion that our gums, throats, esophagus, and organs were all scratched, leading to intestinal bleeding,” appealing for the damage they suffered.

A, who drank the beverage,

added to the sadness by saying, “I even miscarried.”

However, the response from the store owner and the headquarters only added to the anger. A said, “The owner came to the emergency room and said things like ‘it’s plastic, so it digests well,’ and ‘there’s no way plastic can go down the throat.’ When a furious acquaintance went to find the owner, the owner said,

‘If you want to settle, I can only give you 500,000 won ($425) for medical expenses and consolation money.'”Eventually, A contacted the headquarters to protest, but the headquarters said, “It was the owner’s mistake and happened due to carelessness. Resolve it with the owner.”

As the post became an issue, the headquarters finally announced that they would take strong action, including revoking the owner’s business rights, and the store, which had been operating normally, is currently closed.
