On the 17th, Tao explained on his official SNS that 'black spots' found in some products were created when fibers were carbonized by heat during the production of nonwoven fabrics, which are harmless to the human body. He added "This is also a common occurrence in the industry, and our testing standards are stricter than the industry average."
Tao says "I fully understand your concerns about the product and deeply sympathize with you that you may have been offended.""If you receive the problematic product, please contact the customer center immediately and we will exchange it for a new product.""
He continued, `Our brand was launched based on the philosophy that transparency is quality, and we hope that the brand we just started will have a chance to mature.'
The controversy was triggered when a consumer shared a photo and a review of the sanitary pad on social media. The post spread rapidly around the Chinese online community, and Tao showed responsibility by responding directly from the beginning of the incident.
According to the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong on the 28th of last month (Korea time), Tao recently conducted a 30-minute live broadcast at his factory and sold 450,000 boxes of sanitary pads. The sales amount is about 22.5 million yuan (about 4.3 billion won).
Tao said it was "disgusting" after it was revealed that he had repackaged and distributed sanitary pads used in China last year. It is not acceptable to harm women's health. I'll make it myself" declared. Since then, it has invested 275 million yuan (about 52 billion won) to develop products, and recently launched the sanitary pad brand 'Domyway'. Tao is releasing a 24-hour video of the production process.
Meanwhile, Thao made his debut as an EXO player in 2012 and left the team without permission in 2015 before returning to China. After the death of his father, China's richest man, in 2020, he reportedly inherited about 3 billion dollars (about 4.128 trillion won). In December last year, she married Xu Yi-yang, a former SM Rookie who was dating.
