Mrs Kim – Kim Hyun Joong’s mother was in & showed us to our table & took our order. We requested her to have her photo taken, she politely decline the photo op but invites to take as many as we want of the shop. Mrs Kim took extra care to wait on our table & even adjusted the heater for the kids, as she was fascinated by them since not many children often drop by at the outlet
