Most recently, MD cafe - a cafe located in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, has become the center of public attention. This cafe stands out with its new and unique business model, but there are unusual details hidden in the implementation process, making many people worried.
MD cafe attracts customers with its blind date model, where participants can meet and chat with others in a private space, specially designed to create mystery and stimulate curiosity. However, this very secrecy has led to questions about the transparency and safety of the activities inside the shop.

According to the description of the shop, this is a coffee shop model combined with a blind date service. Customers coming here will be provided with brief information about their date and will be arranged to sit in two different rooms, creating a mysterious dating experience.
Specifically, the male customer will sit in a dark room, called the "black room," while the female customer will sit in the opposite room, which is light, called the "white room." With this arrangement, neither person will be able to see the other person's face. After that, the two customers will have time to chat and get to know each other without seeing each other's face to decide whether or not they will become friends.
This chat time is designed to help customers focus on understanding the other person's personality, interests and life views without being influenced by appearance. After the chat ends, both of you will decide whether or not you want to continue meeting and being friends in real life.
The blind dating model of "MD Cafe" brings a new and interesting approach to connecting people, especially in the context of modern society where appearance often plays an important role in dating. However, the secrecy and privacy in the implementation process also cause doubts and concerns about the transparency and safety of the service.
Many young people come to MD cafe to use this service.
Initially, this model quickly attracted the attention of young people because of its novelty. However, when the community pointed out the unusual points in the operation method, the shop began to become the focus of criticism.
First, although it is a blind date model, only the male side is "hidden". The glass separating the two rooms is a two-way mirror, also known as a see-through mirror. This means that the female customer can only see herself in the mirror and not the male customer. Meanwhile, the male customer can observe every action of the female customer.

Second, the seats for female customers at MD cafe are designed to be higher than those for male customers, creating a significant gap. This design poses many potential risks, especially harassment and secret filming when they wear clothes such as short skirts or shorts.
The difference in distance between men's and women's rooms causes many concerns.
Currently, under pressure from public opinion, MD cafe has had to hide some clips and advertising content about the blind date cafe model on the cafe's social media accounts. However, this has not yet calmed the wave of public outrage, but on the contrary, has increased suspicion and dissatisfaction.
Many are concerned that these actions are just temporary measures to deal with criticism, without actually addressing the fundamental issues of safety and transparency in the operation of the shop. Public outrage continues to rise with many calling for a boycott of this coffee shop model.
Customers and the public demand greater transparency in the management and operation of coffee shops, and require the authorities to conduct thorough inspections to ensure that no illegal or harmful activities are taking place. Concerns about harassment, hidden cameras and other safety issues need to be thoroughly addressed to protect the rights and safety of customers.
