Posts featuring these photos on Korean online communities were swiftly removed.

Korean netizens reacted:

"Dispatch is really something else now."

"Isn't she an ordinary person? Her outfit is something else, lol."

"This makes me feel uneasy."

"It's really unsettling."

"Seeing a photo of two young women in revealing outfits with an older, wealthy man is really off-putting. People should meet others of similar age."

"He's the chairman of a major company, and he's hanging out with a 2000-born BJs, lol."

"They were talking informally to each other, lol."

"Didn't he have face blindness??? As the head of a major company, he should meet someone more suitable. Or at least not get caught. Especially now when the group that made you so rich is going through tough times."

"Wow, their outfits are revealing."

"They're meeting because they have mutual needs. Neither side is losing out."
