Recently, Sanxiang Metropolis Daily reported that on October 22, a China netizen who has lived in South Korea for a long time posted on social media saying that a coffee shop in Seoul, South Korea publicly stated that "we do not accept China."

According to netizens, this coffee shop in Shengshui-dong, Seoul attracts many China tourists with its unique decoration and specialty drinks. It is an online celebrity shop that many China bloggers have checked in. The person involved recently visited this coffee shop because he browsed recommendation posts on the Internet.

The party concerned recalled that he followed the regular process of entering the store to order without mentioning any special requirements. Just because he communicated with his friends in Chinese, the store owner came forward and asked directly for his nationality. After learning that he was China, the store clearly told him that "China people will not be accepted" and asked the party concerned to leave the store.

This kind of eviction without warning made the person involved feel very surprised, and angrily argued with the owner, saying that the store had never stated this rule in advance in any form. The party concerned said that if he had known in advance that the coffee shop would not accept China people, he would not have gone and asked for trouble.

After this unpleasant shop visit, the person involved shared his experiences on the Internet, reminding compatriots who have recently traveled to South Korea not to accidentally enter a coffee shop that does not welcome China tourists like themselves. Later, the store owner changed the store description on social media and added an English caption,"I'm sorry, we don't accept China customers."

Many netizens were furious about the experience of this China tourist and the attitude of the Korean coffee shop. After learning about the incident, some people spontaneously left low scores and negative reviews for the coffee shop on Google Maps, naver and other review software to express their dissatisfaction with the store's discrimination against China customers.

Faced with the flood of doubts from netizens, the coffee shop owner browsed the party's dynamics and posted a screenshot on his personal account, and replied with an thought-provoking sentence,"Although it is regrettable from a human perspective, this is me."

On October 24, when the reporter inquired about the overseas social account of the coffee shop involved, he found that the home page of the account was as shown in the online screenshot, and the introduction clearly marked the rule of "No accepting China customers" in English. It is worth mentioning that after the incident spread on domestic social platforms, the coffee shop's social account has turned off the comment function and private message function, which is suspected to restrict netizens from expressing their views on the incident.

Many netizens said that it is understandable for merchants to choose the customer groups they want to serve in the process of running a coffee shop. However, the Korean coffee shop has issued restrictions that only target tourists of a certain nationality, and the owner's thought-provoking sentence. The reply will only make people feel disrespected, and it is inappropriate to say that the owner's behavior is not appropriate.
