Jongwon Baek, CEO of The Bone Korea, expressed his feelings about the controversy so far.

Jongwon Baek attended a shareholders' meeting held at the Dubon Korea Foundation Briefing Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 31st and said, "We spent a lost year last year due to unreasonable complaints and accusations from various organizations."

In addition, Jongwon Baek said, "Most of the suspicions have been concluded to be innocent, allowing us to resume our business."

"We will focus on targeting overseas markets to enter the global market this year," he stressed.

After the shareholders' meeting, Jongwon Baek met with reporters and said, "We will resume YouTube activities soon," adding, "We will strengthen our activities by promoting Korean food and introducing recipes from overseas."

However, when asked about the resumption of broadcasting activities, he replied, "We are not actively considering returning to broadcasting at this time."

Meanwhile, Dubon Korea, run by Jongwon Baek, has been embroiled in a series of controversies, including violations of the Food Sanitation Act, violations of the Farmland Act, and false labeling of the country of origin, starting with the controversy over inflating the price of "Backham" early last year. In response, Jongwon Baek said at the time, "All the problems are with me. As Baek Jong-won, a businessman, not a broadcaster, he apologized and suspended all broadcasting activities.

Since then, the investigative agency has cleared or dismissed charges of violation of the country of origin labeling law, violation of the Food Sanitation Act, and violation of the customs law.
