Actress Lee Si-young, who is living in the U.S. with her son, has become embroiled in a controversy over bad manners.
On the 6th, Lee Si-young posted on social media, "Last day. This is a really beautiful restaurant at Long Island Beach. If you go to the U.S., you must visit here. I have to come back here next year too, hehe. Jung-yoon was really sad that he wanted to stay in the U.S. longer...ㅠㅠ Let's come for a longer time next year, goodbye," along with a video.
The video shows Lee Si-young dining at a restaurant on Long Island Beach.
However, rather than the view of Lee Si-young and her party enjoying their meal against the beautiful sunset, the people at the adjacent table are more prominently visible. In fact, the faces of the people at the next table were exposed without any mosaic treatment.
Lee Si-young's son's behavior also drew criticism. The son was seen standing up to take bites of food, playing with a nearby pillar, and dancing, never sitting still for a moment. While it's understandable that a child would be excited on a trip to a beautiful place, Lee Si-young's lack of intervention left much to be desired.
In response, netizens have been voicing their concerns. They commented, "It seems like the foreigner in front is uncomfortable, and I can't focus on the beautiful scenery," "The type of child you least want to encounter in a restaurant," "The child keeps moving around distractedly during the meal, and the camera is filming as if that space is rented out. What kind of thought process allows for such a nuisance to happen without care?"
Meanwhile, Lee Si-young is currently staying in the U.S. with her son Jung-yoon. She married businessman A, who is nine years her senior, in 2017, but they faced a divorce after eight years of marriage last March. Following this, news emerged that she became pregnant through in vitro fertilization without her ex-husband's consent, drawing attention.
