Fans and friends quickly joked about the small portion and Mijoo explained that she grills small amounts at a time because the meat burns easily and said she chose the balcony to avoid the smell indoors. However, the post soon drew attention on online communities for a different reason.

Some netizens questioned whether grilling meat on a shared apartment balcony could bother neighbors due to smoke and strong food smells. As the post garnered hundreds of comments, many came to her defense.

• “Sensitive people should just go live in a single-family house.”
• “Seriously… just don’t smoke cigarettes.”
• “Please stop picking on Mijoo already, seriously.”
• “It’s not like her family was grilling charcoal BBQ for hours. She cooked two pieces and people are making this big of a deal about it? People who complain about everything online are getting worse.”
• “My house actually has a gas stove on the balcony lol. The building has an old layout.”
• “This is ridiculous. As long as it’s not cigarette smoke, it’s fine.”
