Chef Kang met customers when he finished eating at the tread and took pictures with them when requested, but he has not appeared at the restaurant since the controversy erupted on the 30th of last month. Customers who visited the restaurant also left a review that they could not see the triple star on that day.

Gang Xue participated in the Netflix cooking contest program 'Black and White Cook' under the nickname 'Triple Star', and gained a lot of popularity, reaching the final three. However, the revelation of his ex-wife A and his ex-lover B recently caught up in various controversies.
Mr. A claimed that he helped Chef Kang get a job at a famous restaurant by lobbying triple stars for luxury bags to acquaintances. Chef Kang refuted this, saying, "After three months of unpaid internship, I was recognized for my ability and turned into a full-time employee," adding, "I got a job through my efforts."
In addition, the letter of apology, which is known to have been written by Chef Kang, shocked him by saying, "I asked him to sleep with another man because of my greed." Mr. A also disclosed messenger conversations with remarks such as "I want to tear it to death" and "I want to stab it to death." In this regard, he is reportedly considering filing a complaint with blackmail.
In addition, a YouTuber later revealed additional details such as "Chef Kang stole the restaurant's public money" and "A prepared a rented house worth 3.7 billion won alone in the process of preparing for marriage."
Among them, Chef Kang is scheduled to participate in a gourmet event hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government on the 3rd, drawing attention.
