Although the government started cracking down on the act of selling off urea water or illegally distributing it today (8th), it is pointed out that sellers who want to take profit mainly on the online space are still active.
Even though the product is 10 times the price of a normal product, it is quickly sold out as competition for purchases centered on freight drivers and courier drivers whose livelihoods are threatened.
This morning, dozens of posts were posted on used trading sites such as Used Nara and Carrot Market, stating that the number of urea was traded.
When a seller posted an article saying that 10ℓ of urea water would be sold for 100,000 won, a comment came out saying they wanted to buy it within a minute.
Although the price of urea water, which was usually around 10,000 won per 10ℓ, has soared tenfold, demand is still far ahead of supply.
On a post saying that the same capacity is sold for 60,000 won, 5-6 comments were made for purchase inquiry in an instant, saying, "At this price, it is very cheap."
There were also many people who suggested that they buy 10 liters for 50,000 won.
Some netizens said that the government crackdown began today, criticizing the sales for profit or certifying the fact that they reported it to the authorities.
It is also pointed out that there is a concern about fraud damage when the seller trades the number of elements between individuals beyond simply taking profit.
It is known that the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency conducted a damage prevention guideline for companies that manufacture and sell urea water in downtown Seoul last week.
