Baek Jong-won, ultimately criminally charged... Under investigation for violation of origin labeling law

Baek Jong-won, the CEO of The Born Korea and a broadcaster, has been under investigation for repeatedly violating origin labeling laws.

On the 13th, it was confirmed that the Seoul Office of the Agricultural Products Quality Management Service's Special Judicial Police have officially charged Baek Jong-won with two violations of origin labeling laws and have initiated an investigation.

The case of Baek Jong-won, who was criminally charged by the Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, involves allegations of violating origin labeling regulations for Baek Jong-won's Baekseok Doenjang produced by Daebon Korea and Nakji Bokkeum from Hanshin Pocha.

A look at the ingredient list of Baek Jong-won's Baekseok Doenjang produced at Daebon Korea's Baekseok factory reveals that it contains imported ingredients, including Chinese-modified meju soybean paste and soybeans from the United States, Canada, and Australia, as well as wheat flour from the United States and Australia. Daebon Korea has been promoting this product as "domestic," but in reality, the raw materials are imported.

 

If Baek Jong-won's allegations are proven, he could face up to 7 years in prison or a fine of up to 100 million won, according to the Act on the Labeling of Origin of Agricultural and Fishery Products.

The complainant stated, "Baek Jong-won previously pointed out issues regarding the renewal of health certificates and the origin labeling on a pizza restaurant's menu on the show 'Street Food Alley'," and added, "Nevertheless, his violation of the origin labeling law for ten years is an act that cannot be tolerated."

Furthermore, he said, "Despite loudly claiming to save local farms on their own, they must bow their heads and apologize to the public for their contradictory behavior."

Your words and actions are constantly different, right? You even praised the hosts on your personal broadcast for being good at cursing fiercely.

 

Baek Jong-won, who is famous for having many supporters and outspoken advocates on followers' comments and social media.

    저도 보니까 다양하게 많이 영상들이 올라오는데 댓글들이 무슨 신봉자들이 그렇게 많은 것 같더라구요. 누가 이런건 좀 아닌 것 같다 하면 그 댓글 단사람한테 죽자고 시비거는 인간들이 무서울정도던데 ㅋㅋ
