Masks are still expensive, and increasingly difficult to obtain. The authorities were caught by a company that had gathered more than a million masks to sell more expensive.

A risk investigation team came to the KFDA at a warehouse in Uiseong, Gyeongbuk.

Boxes of various English labels are stacked in a pile on one side of the warehouse.

I opened the box and found a white mask.

[Mask Makers: (Why are the boxes marked different?) I changed the box because it was caught in the KFDA.]

Unbranded boxes stacked on the other side of the warehouse are filled with different masks.

The number of masks caught in this warehouse is the largest since the crackdown on the mask stall.

The company was found to have hoarded a mask to sell at a used site on the Internet for twice the price.

In particular, the company has advertised that 1,500,000 health masks will be sold for cash of 1.4 billion won over the Internet, attracting buyers to highway rest areas and taking them to storage warehouses to avoid crackdowns.

It is necessary to take special care to catch the new coronavirus situation, aiming for a hot spring as a stockpile, or hitting an unfortunate one with a mask.
