DJ DOC's Lee Ha-neul: 'Even with over 1000 reports, I earn two months' salary in a day'

DJ DOC member Lee Ha-neul has directly addressed the repeated reports and malicious comments directed at the restaurant he operates.

Through a YouTube Shorts video titled 'You won't age like me?' released on his channel on the 4th, Lee Ha-neul expressed his feelings in a strong tone toward certain netizens who continue to leave malicious comments and file false reports.

In the video, he stated, "It is better to earn money during the time you spend writing malicious comments," adding, "It is difficult to succeed living like that." He continued, "I have been successful through 30 years of musical activities, and I am currently running a business and a restaurant," claiming, "In just one day today, I earned about two months' salary for some people."

Lee Ha-neul also mentioned the repeated instances of reports surrounding the gopchang restaurant he operates. He revealed, "There are people saying they will report the restaurant, and our shop has received over 1000 reports so far," but noted, "However, no actual problems have occurred because of them."

Previously, Lee Ha-neul disclosed that the police were dispatched to the restaurant after receiving a report while he was conducting a live broadcast, claiming it was due to repeated false reports from some viewers.

At the time, he explained, "It seems like people watching the broadcast are filing reports," and added, "The actual noise in the store is not severe; the camera was just close to the speaker, so the sound was transmitted loudly in the broadcast." He lamented, "No one around here is complaining of damage, so it seems they are reporting just to harass the shop."

The restaurant is known to be co-operated by Lee Ha-neul and Jeong Jae-yong. Previously, after actress Kim Gyu-ri held a small fan-meeting at this location, a report for violating the Food Sanitation Act was filed, and rumors spread online that the establishment had received a two-month suspension of business.

Regarding this, Lee Ha-neul's side refuted the claims, stating they are not true and are "clearly false information." Furthermore, they have expressed their position to take legal action against the spreading of false information and acts of defamation.
