4th Gen K-Pop Idol Faces Unexpected Discrimination At U.S. Restaurant
P1Harmony are currently on their 2024 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H : UTOP1A] in Seoul and North America.
The group most recently performed in Miami, Florida, on June 5 at the James L Knight Center. Ahead of the concert, the members enjoyed some free time.
Leader Keeho shared some of his experiences in Miami, revealing that he had walked thirty minutes to a restaurant that was recommended to him online. Yet, they wouldn’t let him dine.
I went, and I tried to walk in and the dude’s like ‘No, don’t come in.’
— Keeho
Keeho revealed the restaurant had a dress code. Since he was dressed casually in shorts, he was not permitted.
I was like, ‘Why?’ He was like, ‘Read the sign outside.’ And they said, ‘No shorts and no hats.’ And so they didn’t let me in!
— Keeho
Keeho was also alone at the time. He said that if he had one of his members with him, he would have continued speaking to the restaurant staff, joking, “Please, I’m a star!” But since he was by himself, standing out like a sore thumb in “jorts,” while the patrons wore “nice” attire, he gave up.
And yeah, I got kicked out, and they didn’t let me in.
— Keeho
Keeho said he decided to be smart and check the dress code before going to another restaurant. He called three different restaurants to inquire, and they all had strict dress codes!
I’m going to be smart and check if they have a dress code before going. …All of them said, ‘NO SHORTS.’
— Keeho
Unfortunately, Keeho had to go back to his hotel and change his outfit for the day before he could go out to eat.
So, I went back to the hotel and changed…
— Keeho
Not only did concert-goers respond to Keeho’s story like a sitcom laugh track, but P1eces took to their mobile phones to share their reactions.
