“I gave money and bought a complete mold”… ‘Solby Cake’ controversy, what happened

Controversy continues as a café famous for the so-called’Solbi Cake’ designed by celebrity Solbi sells moldy cakes. Buying customers expressed their apology while posting on the Internet, but accusations were raised that it was not enough. As a result, the cafe side apologized again.

“I paid for the mold and bought it.”

– The case was first known when an article titled’I paid for fungi and bought it and ate it by my children’ was posted on an online community on the 5th. The writer who bought the cake at a cafe that was famous for sorby cake said, “It was a cake with a lot of colored cream, so I felt something strange when I ate it from the outside, and the moment I cut the inside of the cake, I was astonished.” It’s filled with mold, so you can hardly find the bread part,” he revealed.

The café’s voiceless response was also pinched. He said, “It’s not enough to kneel and apologize, so the representative made excuses, saying it’s difficult these days, and then we agreed to agree on a few hundred thousand won.” I only presented the money,” he insisted. “In the end, I presented the money of 2 million won and said that it was more difficult. Even 2 million won was half of the cafe voucher. It’s not a damaged cake, but a rotten cake. The whole family is vomiting and diarrhea.”

As the criticism spread, the cafe side posted an apology on its Instagram account. The cafe side said, “As the display of the cake for sale and the cake for sale displayed on the showcase on March 1st was not accurately distinguished, they knew the cake for sale and wanted to purchase it.” It happened to be sold,” he said.

He said, “This caused a lot of inconvenience to customers who purchased it, so I met the customer in person and apologized several times.” It will cause secondary damage,” he added. It is known that this cafe is a chain of studio cafes opened in private studios by singer and writer Solbi. On the 3rd, Solbi held a solo exhibition’Just a Cake-Piece of Hope’ at Insa Art Gallery in Insa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

“I’m sorry to blame you and Solbi?”

– However, the cafe’s apology was like pouring oil into the blaming public opinion. It was the reason that I felt more sorry for the mistakes and solutions of the part-time employees than the sincere apology. In fact, on the cafe Instagram, there were a number of criticisms such as, “It is a problem to put the display and the sale in the same space, but the responsibility was handed over to the customer and the part-time student,” .

Eventually, the cafe side raised an apology again and began to correct the situation. The cafe side said, “I am sorry for making customers more uncomfortable by hastily posted the situation description of this event in writing, which could lead to another misunderstanding,” and said, “It is not intended to be left for the part-timer and staff responsibility, not for display and sales. “It is our company’s responsibility”, he bowed his head.
