On March 6, a netizen posted a video online revealing a man urinating into a hot pot at a certain private room in a restaurant. Some netizens recognized the restaurant in question suspected to be the popular chain, Hai Di Lao Hot Pot, sparking widespread attention.
The video footage shows a man in black pants standing on a table in a private room of a hot pot restaurant, urinating into the hot pot in the center of the table. The man giggled and said, “Let you all taste the hot pot with my urine.”
The video did not mention the name of the hot pot restaurant, but some netizens identified it based on the interior decoration and layout, speculating that it was a Hai Di Lao Hot Pot branch where the incident occurred.
After the video went viral online, Hai Di Lao quickly became the center of public opinion.
On that day, the person in charge of Hai Di Lao responded to the video stating, “Regarding this video clip, the public security authorities have filed a case. We will fully cooperate with the relevant departments to trace and investigate. Regardless of whether it was a staged act or real, we will resolutely hold those involved accountable under the law.”
The incident has sparked discontent among many netizens, who have condemned the malicious behavior of the individual involved.
“This is terrible.” “If it’s true, this person is just horrible!” “So infuriating, what a pervert.” “Whether real urine or fake urine, treat it as real in judgment.” “This is quite a big deal. This was exposed, but are there more incidents yet to be revealed?”
