S.Coups (Choi Seungcheol), a member of the group SEVENTEEN, has personally spoken up about a cafe run by his older brother.
On the 27th, S.Coups wrote on the fan platform Weverse,
“A lot of good things are happening lately and I have a unit promotion coming up, so I’ve been holding back because I didn’t want to talk about anything negative. But I’ve had a lot of issues with my brother. I can’t stop Carats from going to the cafe because they simply like it, but I don’t want people spending money there for me or because of me.”
Through Weverse, S.Coups made it clear that while fans are free to visit the cafe if they personally enjoy it, he does not want them to support it thinking it’s connected to him. His statement appears to refute rumors among some fans that he owns a stake in the cafe, while also sparking speculation about his current relationship with his brother.
This isn’t the first time S.Coups has mentioned the cafe. Back on the 17th, he said:
“Videos of the cafe keep popping up, but it has nothing to do with me. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t spend money there. Please help spread the word. I know a lot of Carats are following and visiting it.”
S.Coups’ repeated statements are widely seen as his attempt to deny the so-called ‘cafe ownership rumors’ circulating among fans. Additionally, his direct wording “I have a lot of issues with my brother” has led to speculation of a falling-out between the two. However, some fans have claimed the two are still close, saying they’ve been seen spending time and traveling together.
Meanwhile, S.Coups is preparing to promote as a unit with fellow SEVENTEEN member Mingyu. Their new album, HYPE VIBES, is set to be released at 6 PM on the 29th.

1. So his hyung is the one operating the cafe..?
> That’s right
2. I searched on Naver and it seems like his hyung is trying to go viral using the cafe, it’s no joke
3. It feels like there’s something missing
4. Looking at this, it feels like he’s having issues with his hyung
5. Huh? Is that really his hyung’s cafe? I saw that his hyung posted on his IG that he opened a cafe
6. He said that his hyung has a lot of problems with the cafe, so stop with the trolling
7. Ah so it’s not his hyung’s cafe, but that the cafe is trying to go viral using him and his hyung, so he’s saying not to visit it?
8. If you read his Weverse post, if does seem like he has issues with his hyung, but the fans are swearing at the journalist?
9. Ah seriously it’s not his hyung’s cafe, so there’s no reason to visit the cafe. How can people misunderstand that..?
10. It’s true that his hyung works at the cafe, but he doesn’t own the cafe? So the hyung is just an employee there?
