In what can only be described as a dramatic turn of events, Lee Dong Gun's much-visited café in Aewol, Jeju Island, is facing unexpected flooding just three months after its highly-anticipated opening. Recent heavy rains have turned the relaxed oasis into a watery predicament.

A video circulating on social media on July 19 showcased the café's signature water feature, which recently transformed from a serene display to an alarming sight of rising waters. Patrons were spotted carefully navigating a safe path while fierce winds caused nearby trees to sway violently, prompting one bewildered visitor to exclaim, "Is this really supposed to happen?".

Opening its doors in April, the café attracted a flood of customers eager to experience its unique ambiance. However, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Tensions flared as local business owners grumbled about late-night construction and filming activities that seemingly occurred without consent, raising concerns in the community.

In addition to the café’s woes, rumblings of Lee Dong Gun's romantic life added to the buzz. Speculations about his relationship with actress Kang Hye Rim, who is 16 years his junior, caught public attention, though her agency remains tight-lipped, stating, "We cannot confirm matters regarding the actress’s private life."

Despite these hurdles, Lee Dong Gun's café continues to draw visitors with its eye-catching design and the star power of its owner, proving that even a little flooding can't dim its appeal.
