Yoon Dong-han, chairman of Kolmar Korea, who has been the subject of a strong boycott for the past four days, resigned today. I apologized yesterday, but it seems that the public has chosen to resign because of the growing public opinion and the direct impact on the company's management.

I am Nam Joo-hyun.

Chairman Yoon Dong-han of Kolmar Korea bent his back and said that he would be responsible for the end of the video.

On the 7th of the month, the employee's monthly inquiry showed four days of intense criticism on the YouTube video of the pro-Japanese extreme righteousness.

This is the first time a chief executive of a company has resigned due to improper conduct regarding a Japanese boycott.

Mr. Yoon chose to resign, but it was explained that "it was intended to have a proper historical awareness," but the criticism was hardly subsided.

In particular, it seems that the women, the main customers of cosmetics, are turning their backs on the insults of women of the YouTuber.

Opinion has continued to spread after the end of the scandal, and Kolmar Holdings shares plunged more than 8% last Friday.

The aftermath of the storm continued, as some companies that received raw materials from Kolmar Korea were asked to break the contract.

The strong influence of consumers, identified in the recent Japanese boycott, seems to have put pressure on them.
