Dubon Korea, represented by Jongwon Baek, has been under fire for various controversies since its listing in November last year. Starting with the controversy over the price of 'Backham Gift Set' in January this year, 'Baekseok Doenjang' was embroiled in a violation of the Farmland Act, allegations of false labeling of the country of origin, violations of the Food Sanitation Act, and suspicions of a blacklist of employees.

Due to the ongoing controversy, the Jongwon Baek issued an apology twice and bowed its head, apologizing directly at the regular shareholders' meeting.




In addition, after apologizing for a series of controversies on its website, Dubon Korea said, `I feel a heavy responsibility for a series of recent issues, including inappropriate behavior of employees belonging to local projects and hygiene management of festival sites,' adding, `As employees belonging to local projects in question are immediately excluded from their duties and are under thorough investigation by external agencies, we will take stern measures according to the results" he said. Then "We will thoroughly improve all the wrong and insufficient issues that have been intensively raised this year and make sure to be reborn." Thank you for your cool-headed comments and warm encouragement, and I hope you will watch the changes in the future."

However, controversy has not been put to rest even with the apology. As a result, broadcasts that Jongwon Baek CEO was scheduled to appear have been postponed or postponed. MBC 'Chef of Antarctica', which was scheduled to premiere in May, has been postponed indefinitely, and tvN 's Business Genius White Sands has not been confirmed.
