Restaurant owner fumes after customers bring own meat, demand 4 side dish refills

A South Korean restaurant owner has voiced frustration over a group of customers who allegedly brought their own meat to the establishment and then proceeded to refill side dishes multiple times. The owner shared the incident on Threads, questioning the audacity of customers bringing their own meat to a barbecue restaurant.

Is it even possible to bring meat to a barbecue restaurant?

The group, comprising six adults and three children, ordered a minimal amount of food: two packs of pork belly, three bowls of rice, and three beverages. The owner noted that despite the small order, side dishes like ssam (lettuce wraps), chili peppers, and garlic were refilled four times.

I thought they weren't hungry because it was an off-peak time, but there was clearly no meat (from the restaurant).

Upon discovering the customers were grilling their own meat, the owner confronted them. The customers, however, refused to leave until they had finished the meat they had brought and cooked. When the owner threatened to remove the charcoal, the customers allegedly became aggressive, shouting at the owner and causing a scene that disrupted the business.

I found out they had brought pork belly with them.
