This apartment in Gangnam, Seoul is said to have been chartered by Namyang Dairy Chairman Hong Won-sik for 3.5 billion won, but the actual resident is Hong Jin-seok, the eldest son.
Two high-priced foreign vehicles leased by the company are parked, and the main driver is specified as'VIP' in Namyang Dairy's internal data, or Jin-Seok Hong, Managing Director.
More than 11 million won of company money was spent monthly only for car rental fees, and even though the company's driver was assigned, there are testimonies that it was used for personal purposes such as commuting to school for the children of Managing Director Hong.
[All employees of Namyang Dairy Co., Ltd.: Even if employees visit the company parking lot every time, they have never seen such a car. The drivers had an event in the house every morning, or they were picked up every day for the kids to go to school, so they drove out.]
In addition, the advertising agency charged Namyang Dairy for more than 1 million won each for shopping bags and birthday party supplies. The event was written as a gift for the chairman's wife and the birthday of Hong's child.
Blind, an anonymous app for office workers, even claimed insiders that the president's family mobilized employees when going to the hospital or on a family trip.
Spending money for private use may constitute tax evasion or embezzlement.
Namyang Dairy said that it is grasping the facts about the allegations raised.
