There is public outrage after a story surfaced about a restaurant customer urinating on the terrace of the establishment.

The story was posted on an online community on the 26th. The author, Mr. A, shared that a male customer urinated on the terrace of the restaurant run by his mother, saying, "My mother is having a hard time. This is the first time she has experienced something like this, so she is very upset."

A screenshot from the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage released by Mr. A shows a man wearing a black T-shirt standing in what appears to be the restaurant terrace, urinating. According to Mr. A, the man was not intoxicated.

Mr. A explained, "The restroom is right inside as soon as you open the door. I can understand urinating on the street across the road a hundred times over, but is it common sense to urinate on the terrace?" He added, "My mother saw it herself, but it was difficult and frightening to confront a strong man, so she closed the restaurant early and only complained to us."

He continued, "In these tough economic times and in such a scary world, is it possible for a normal person to behave like this while running a restaurant?" criticizing the man.

Meanwhile, under Article 3 of the Minor Offenses Act, the person who urinated on the street can be punished with a fine of up to 100,000 won or detention.
