In a shocking turn of events, the restaurant has since closed down
Sung belittled Karla for having only 15k followers, but this whole debacle really led to her popularity online soaring. As of today, she has almost 390k people following her on TikTok, and social media celebrities like Jameela Jamil, Trisha Paytas, and Tana Mongeau have expressed support in the comments on her videos.
As for Kis Cafe, karma has really come back to bite them in the rear. On the 25 of July, the restaurant issued a statement on Instagram about how they were closing and “restructuring after these events.” They also condemned their chef Luke Sung’s behavior. “Our chef’s behavior was unacceptable and he is no longer part of the team as a co-owner, a chef or in any other way.”
“That behavior does not reflect the remainder of our team,” the owner wrote. “We want to create a space that’s welcoming and respectful to everyone. In this instance, we failed to do so.”
Luke Sung has also reportedly contacted Karla in person and publicly, and asked the Kis Cafe Instagram page to share his apology. “I am truly sorry for my actions towards you,” the apology reads. “I was condescending, hurtful, and intimidating.”
“You did not deserve to be made to feel less than or unimportant, nobody does,” Sung went on. “There are no excuses to be made, and I’ve decided it’s time to for me to step away from Kis cafe permanently and in all capacities.”
The lengthy apology also includes Sung saying sorry to his kids and the employees of Kis Cafe. He reiterates that the blame for this drama falls solely on him and doesn’t reflect on the values of his children (daughter Isabelle included) or the hard workers at the restaurant whose livelihoods now may be in danger.
People from all over the world were reacting to the drama: “Watching this from the UK here. This is getting far”
