On May 13, An Seong-jae's YouTube production team announced, "We would like to take some time to reorganize the channel's direction and overall operations, as well as to create content more thoughtfully."
They added, "We will strive to return with a more responsible approach and better content for those who have supported and watched our channel."
Recently, an internet user, identified as A, posted on an online community that they experienced a wine substitution incident while visiting the restaurant Mosu Seoul on April 18. A claimed, "I ordered Château Léoville Barton, but the sommelier served a 2005 vintage," and stated, "When I raised the issue, the response and handling were inadequate."
Following this, the restaurant issued an apology via social media on April 23, and An Seong-jae also apologized on May 6. In a statement on his social media, An said, "I sincerely apologize once again for disappointing you due to the inadequate service that occurred at my establishment, Mosu."
He added, "As the owner chef, I take full responsibility for Mosu and promise to manage it thoroughly to prevent such incidents from happening again."
However, on the same day An posted his apology on social media, he uploaded a video to his YouTube channel, which drew criticism from netizens. Comments on the video included, "You posted a video right after the apology?" and "Why did you have to upload it at this timing?"
