Controversy in the past has risen to the surface regarding broadcaster Byun Jung-soo's confirmation of Coronavirus Infectious Disease-19 (Corona 19).
On the 26th, Byun Jungsu announced through his SNS on the 26th that "a partner company representative who had a dinner with us during a business meeting was contacted that he had been confirmed on the 24th, and immediately conducted a voluntary examination and was confirmed on the 26th."
Along with the news of the corona 19 confirmed, Byun Jeong-soo announced that he went into self-quarantine according to the guidelines of the quarantine authorities and is taking preemptive measures.
However, some people are showing a bitter reaction, recalling the fact that Byun Jung-soo tried to sell hand sanitizer in large quantities in the early Corona 19 period.
Earlier, Byun Jung-soo was caught in controversy after using a large amount of hand sanitizers on his SNS in February last year, when the spread of Corona 19 soared and masks and hand sanitizers were scarce nationwide. In the midst of growing anxiety due to Corona 19, he received a negative glance as to whether he was trying to make money.
At that time, opinions continued that the'special price' goods tooled by Byun Jung-soo were not very cheap compared to other products, and criticism continued that he used Corona 19 in detail. As the controversy grew, Byun Jung-soo deleted the sales article, clarifying, "I thought it would be good to buy a donation so that the general people can protect themselves while making donations.
On the other hand, Byun Jung-soo said that it will enter self-quarantine following the confirmation of Corona 19, but emphasized that the shopping mall will be operated normally through the shop manager.
