Han San-hae (Shin Dong-wook) and Bok Seung-ah (Kwon Yu-ri of Girls’ Generation) meet one of RG Motors’ VVIP clients (special cameo by Yang Dong-geun) at this eatery, together with his three children in final episode 31 (final full episode 16) of Dae Jang Geum Is Watching / The Great Jang-geum Is Watching / Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma (대장금이 보고 있다) (MBC, 2018-19). As the kids began to get rather squirmy, Seung-ah decides to distract them by playing with them outside, while San-hae talks to the client over lunch. Later, the grateful client decides to buy a car per Seung-ah’s recommendation.
