Restaurant Leaks in K-POP CCTV Captures RIIZE Wonbin’s Visit, Raising Privacy Issues

When RIIZE Wonbin visited a restaurant, the release of recorded CCTV footage in public caused uproar.

Rize wonbin Supporters are growing more worried about unapproved CCTV exposures and invasions of privacy that don’t require the parties’ permission.

Wonbin of RIIZE recently made headlines online for a signature he left at a barbeque restaurant in Ulsan, his birthplace.


In addition to providing official confirmation of Wonbin’s photo, the restaurant expressed support for RIIZE.


After the fans’ intense outcry, the restaurant recorded and made public CCTV of Wonbin signing. “If this causes any discomfort to Wonbin and his companions, we will delete it,” they wrote as a comment.


The CCTV photos caused a stir. Numerous online users and fans brought attention to the problems with unapproved CCTV releases. Netizens voiced unease with circumstances where celebrities’ privacy is violated amid ongoing incidents of such violations.


The post was removed shortly after, but internet users’ outrage is still being voiced. “The restaurant crossed the line by freely disclosing CCTV footage,” is one of the comments. “While I can appreciate the signature, it seems excessive to release CCTV footage,” “Why release CCTV when you know it will cause trouble?” “It’s so uncomfortable for me to go eat anymore,” “Remember to keep Wonbin private.”
