Kim So Hyun tried solo Korean BBQ and got turned away

7GeonwooAm2026.10.08 16:17👁 1390💬 18♥ 40

Kim So Hyun says she loves eating alone, conveyor-belt sushi is her favorite, but when she walked into a Korean BBQ place by herself on a weekend evening they turned her away. She said she gets it, that's prime time for groups ordering drinks.

Solo gamer, solo diner, same problem. Some places just don't have a one-player mode.

She left with zero meat and one story. Best ROI of the weekend, honestly

I can read hangul but have never set foot there, so my solo BBQ plan is reading 1인분 on menus online and feeling prepared.

Main lead energy, extra-in-line treatment. The weekend BBQ rush has no casting bias.

weekend dinner at a BBQ place is group time, a table of one is lost money for them. weekday lunch is a different story

strangely comforting that someone that famous also gets the 'party of one?' look at the door

from what I've seen 혼고기 (solo BBQ) is way easier on weekday lunch, some places have 1인 sets then. weekend dinner is basically a group-only zone

if they turn away Kim So Hyun I have zero chance

I got a 'just you?' at a chicken place on a Tuesday and apologized. to the chicken.

plenty of places here have a two-portion minimum, so going alone just means eating two portions. I see no problem

two-portion minimum is just a boss fight I'm ready for

two-portion minimum is the restaurant saying 'we believe in you'. honestly a fair challenge

the host's mirror story is the real horror in that episode

Vocab: 혼밥 (honbap) = eating alone. people even talk about 혼밥 levels, and BBQ is always the final boss

I'd have taken the rejection as a sign and gone home to eat cereal over the sink. Less paperwork.

In Finland eating alone is just called eating. Reading this thread I feel weirdly lucky 😅

she can walk into a room full of cameras but a grill for one is a boss fight. most relatable thing a celebrity has said all year
