The cafe is being canceled online.
Koreaboo
Recently, fans opened birthday cafes for NCT DREAM’s Chenle, whose birthday was on November 22.
Over the weekend, he made a surprise visit to the cafes, interacted with fans, and bought them drinks.
However, one cafe was hit with much backlash online for scamming Chenle into paying more.
천러 바로 옆에서 영상 찍고 있어서 확실히 들었는데 50개로 말했는데 네 50만원이요~하면서 지 마음대로 처 결제하더라구요 그것도 엥 했는데 천러 가고 나서 사준 걸로 먹으려고 하니까 반말 써대면서 아이스티? 몇잔? 이런 식으로 응대하고 제가 결제하란 스텐스를 취하길래 천러가 사준 걸로 먹겠 https://t.co/zTuqzjl9I9 pic.twitter.com/uLB2eKn72V

I was filming this video right next to Chenle, so I heard the conversation loud and clear. Chenle said he would pay for 50 drinks, but the employee said, ‘Ah, 500,000 KRW ($~339.50 USD)’ and swiped his card. After Chenle left, we tried to get the drinks that Chenle had paid for us, but the employee started talking rudely and informally, and didn’t give us the birthday freebies included. When I asked for them, they said it didn’t come with the drinks we ordered. They kept talking informally. I let it go because it was Chenle’s birthday, but I knew it would blow up someday.
팬들 위해 생카에서 50개 선결제 하겠다고 했는데 그냥 50만원 긁고 애가 선결제한 음료 나갈 때 특전은 왜 안 줘요? 생카 온 팬들한테 ‘아 생카?’, ‘아아랑 캐모마일 중에?’ 등 반말 찍찍 하시는 게 카페 운영자로써 맞는 행동인가요?

Chenle said he would pay for 50 drinks, but you just swiped 500,000 KRW and didn’t give the freebies that came with the prepaid drinks? Is it appropriate for a cafe owner to speak informally to the fans who attended the birthday cafe? No one should hold birthday cafes here anymore.
With this, fans and netizens criticized the cafe for their rude attitude.

This cafe owner is so rude and he doesn’t have X so he probably doesn’t know he’s getting canceled.
타돌이지만 이건 그냥 지나갈수가 없음
50개를 50만원으로 결제하는건 도대체 뭐인거임?
아예그냥 기본적인 예의가 없으시구만
아주 4가지를 야물딱지게 말아드셨구만
진짜 이런건 멀리멀리 퍼져야함 https://t.co/kV79UnRn6l— 풀문이🌝 (@95_cherry_0808) November 23, 2025
I’m not a fan but I can’t let this go. Who swipes 500,000 KRW when he said 50 drinks? This owner doesn’t have even the basic manners. Stories like this need to be spread online.
