The Born Korea, led by celebrity chef Baek Jong-won, has been criminally charged for allegedly mislabeling the origin of ingredients such as soy sauce, soybean paste, and other agricultural products. The National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service found that while product containers had correct labels, online shopping platforms falsely listed foreign ingredients as domestic. The company is undergoing legal proceedings and may face penalties including imprisonment or fines. The Born Korea has apologized and promised to review and correct product information to ensure compliance in the future.
