Chef Choi Hyun-seok’s fine dining restaurant, Choi Dot, has become a topic of discussion online due to its notice to customers. On the 26th, a post titled “Guidelines and Precautions” from Choi Dot was shared among online communities. The notice included a phrase asking guests to “avoid clothing that is too revealing or may cause discomfort to other guests.” This has caught attention for being an expression rarely seen in regular restaurants.
Some netizens reacted by questioning, “What kind of clothes are people wearing that they had to include this in the guidelines?” and speculating, “Obviously someone showed up in revealing clothes and took hundreds of photos.” There were also unfounded interpretations suggesting that the notice targeted female guests, which prompted rebuttals such as “No specific gender was mentioned,” and “Men also wear short shorts and sleeveless shirts,” leading to a variety of discussions on the matter.
