A video of four elementary school students in Busan bowing deeply to cafe staff who offered them free croissants has gone viral in South Korea, drawing praise for the children’s gratitude and the staff’s kindness.
The cafe shared the surveillance footage on Friday, saying the children returned after eating the croissants to offer a traditional Korean deep bow, known as keunjeol, in thanks.
“We normally avoid sharing surveillance footage, but their reaction was too cute not to share,” the cafe wrote.
The video has since drawn warm reactions online, with viewers praising both the children’s thoughtfulness and the staff’s generosity.
