Im Sung-geun, a cast member of 'Black and White Chef Lisa 2', expressed gratitude to customers who visited his newly opened restaurant in Paju.

On the 11th, through his SNS, Im Sung-geun stated, "I sincerely thank all our customers for providing far more support than we anticipated. Seeing customers arrive as early as 6 a.m. and wait for extended periods filled me with overwhelming emotion and a profound sense of responsibility."

Previously, Im Sung-geun opened a three-story restaurant in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. The building features a banner displaying Im's face, drawing attention.

He said, "As it was the first day of operation, I would like to honestly address some operational shortcomings and ask for your understanding. With so many customers arriving at once, the kitchen and dining staff were unable to coordinate properly, resulting in inadequate service and delays."

He continued, "Most importantly, I feel heavy-hearted and deeply sorry that our carefully prepared ingredients ran out early, forcing customers who traveled long distances to leave without even having a meal. We humbly acknowledge the insufficient preparations during the initial opening phase and kindly ask for your understanding from those who experienced inconvenience or made unnecessary trips."

Im Sung-geun added, "As this establishment bears my name, I believe that providing not only delicious food but also 'dignified service' befitting our standards is essential to respecting our customers. We will quickly address any shortcomings and further deepen the quality of our cuisine."

Meanwhile, Im Sung-geun, who gained popularity through his appearance on Netflix's variety show 'Black and White Chef Lisa: Culinary Class War 2', sparked controversy in January when he revealed via his YouTube channel that he had been caught three times for drunk driving.

Subsequently, after Im Sung-geun paid fines related to a parking dispute and it was revealed that he is a six-time offender, he was effectively expelled from the broadcasting industry.
