A man identified as A, who claimed to be an SBS open-recruitment comedian, was accused of hurling abusive language and throwing beer glasses, among other disruptive acts, at a bar.

According to JTBC's 'Incident Chief' on the 15th, male customers A and B visited a whiskey bar near Hongdae Station in Mapo-gu, Seoul, around 11 p.m. on the 2nd, ordering beer and whiskey.

They engaged in conversation with foreign men who entered the bar. As they were concluding their conversation and shaking hands, B suddenly provoked them by asking, "Why are you touching me?" Staff and the owner intervened to stop the confrontation. The foreign customers then left the establishment, but A protested to the owner, asking, "Why aren't you on our side as Koreans? Why are you siding with foreigners?"

The owner stated, "This isn't about taking sides at all. When we told them not to do this, they responded with abusive language such as 'How can you be so rude?' and 'We'll make sure your business fails.' Then, shouting loudly, A revealed his identity by saying, 'I am an SBS open-recruitment comedian named OOO.'"

As A continued to throw beer glasses on the floor and display threatening behavior, the owner eventually called the police. The owner added, "When a staff member tried to restrain A by touching his shoulder, A told the responding police that he had been assaulted and dislocated his shoulder."

The released video shows a staff member making contact with A's arm while attempting to restrain him. The staff member is reportedly of a slender build weighing around 40 kilograms. According to the owner, the employee subsequently went to the police station and submitted a written statement.

A and his companions drank four beers and one whiskey but refused to pay. The reason given was that the owner had removed the bottles, making it impossible to settle the bill. The owner stated, "We were advised by the police to pursue legal action to recover the unpaid amount."

In response, A's side explained, "Foreign customers forced their way in despite there being no available seating and pushed against our sides. We were angry because the manager behaved rudely." Regarding the failure to pay, they added, "The owner removed the glasses we had used and ordered us to leave, so we did not settle the bill."

The owner filed a criminal complaint against A, who claimed to be an SBS open-recruitment comedian, on charges of property damage, business obstruction, and dining without payment. A companion, B, was also charged with dining without payment.

Police stated, "We have received the case from the local precinct and are conducting an investigation," adding, "It is difficult to provide specific details about ongoing investigations."
