"Go to Muslim specialty stores": Foreigner's video sparks controversy

Convenience stores in Korea have recently gained immense popularity among foreign tourists.

They have even established themselves as an essential shopping course.

However, the video we are about to introduce shows a foreigner visiting a convenience store and leaving empty-handed.

Let's watch the video together.

A foreigner enters a convenience store.

This woman picks up cup ramen, snacks, and drinks, and starts scanning the barcodes with a mobile app.

She then checks whether the products are permissible to eat according to Islamic law.

The screen repeatedly shows the word "Haram."

"Haram" refers to things that are forbidden under Islamic law.

Looking somewhat puzzled, the woman gestures with her hands and leaves the convenience store without buying anything.

This video has sparked widespread attention online.

Reactions followed such as, "It's only natural that they don't have them since not many people look for halal food in Korea," and "Can't she just go to specialty stores for Muslims?"
