Broadcaster Lee Young-don mentioned the so-called 'Kim Young-ae Yellow Clay Pack' incident and claimed that he suffered great damage due to rumors, causing controversy online.
Lee Young-don appeared on the YouTube channel 'Manshin of the Age', which aired on the 25th, and claimed, "I had a hard time with various gossips. Even though I'm trying to start a business after finishing the broadcast production, I'm always being victimized by rumors."
At the same time, Lee Young-don mentioned actor Kim Young-ae, who passed away in 2017 while fighting pancreatic cancer.
In addition to her acting career, Kim Young-ae started and greatly expanded her red clay pack business, but around that time, her business suffered great damage after being hit by a broadcast containing heavy metal in red clay packs that Lee Young-don raised suspicion through broadcasting.
At the time, the Food and Drug Administration concluded that most of this iron powder was magnetite, which was originally included in loess, and was harmless as a result of the investigation.
Lee Yeong-don cited the 'Loess Loess Pack Incident' as one of the rumors that made his life the most difficult and said, "We inspected all products on the market, not just those made by Kim Young-ae's husband, and heavy metals were detected. At the time, I apologized appropriately. .As a person who broadcasts with facts, I had to apologize without knowing what I was apologizing for. When I apologized, the criticism grew. If I go back to that time, I will say, 'Don't broadcast'."
In response, the shaman performers of 'Mansin of the Age' said, "We have to apologize, not make excuses."
In addition, Lee Young-don complained of injustice, saying that he was falsely accused of doing the Great King Castella episode that aired after he left the company.
He explained, "I got the nickname of the killer of self-employed people, and I got hit by being framed for unnecessary things I didn't do and getting caught up in false rumors."
After this broadcast was released, some netizens responded that it was difficult to sympathize.
One netizen was bitter, saying, "Many entrepreneurs, including Kim Young-ae, do not seem to regret much even though they lost their livelihoods."
