Dubon Korea was previously criticized for violating the Farmland Act by producing products from foreign materials, although the Baekseok plant in Yesan County, Chungcheongnam-do, is an agricultural promotion zone, so domestic agricultural products should be used as the main raw material. In addition, among the pork content of the Dubon Korea product, the citrus content of the citrus beer, and the ingredients of Hanshin Pocha stir-fried octopus sold at its mall, Dubon Mall, Chinese products have been turned into domestic products.
Representative Jongwon Baek was also criminally charged with violating the country of origin labeling law. If the charges are proven, imprisonment for up to seven years or a fine of up to 100 million won may be imposed under the Act on the Indication of Origin of Agricultural and Marine Products.
