South Korea's well-known bubble tea brand company was recently exposed to the use of rotten cabbage to make kimchi, and then forced to close the factory. Authorities began to investigate. In the video provided by the whistleblower, it can be clearly heard that the factory staff knows that it is rotten cabbage, but does not report it, but triumphantly complains that those unsuspecting consumers will buy cabbage in the future and eat it. In addition to cabbage, some white radish also have rot, but after their pickling, they can no longer see moldy.
As soon as the video was exposed, it triggered a boycott and complaint from many consumers who loved the kimchi brand, and they were disappointed that the kimchi they had always liked to eat was so unpaying and fresh control behind the scenes. The brand Seoul Foods immediately issued an apology statement after the incident, promising to carefully inspect the company and the factory, and then cooperate with external experts for precise coordination, and finally send an answer sheet to the outside world to eliminate doubts.
However, ironically, under the apology statement issued by the official social account of Seoul Food, comments are not allowed, and even before long, the account is in a non-public state, and consumers cannot query its more dynamics at all, it seems that the brand has realized how strong the public anger of consumers outside is, and the fear of losing more customers can only take one move.
As we all know, kimchi has always been the national dish of Koreans, not only can you see the korean people's love for kimchi in Korean film and television works, basically no matter what major occasions in real life, there must be tea on the table, and even during the Beijing Winter Olympics, because there is no kimchi, Korean athletes deliberately complain that Chinese food is the most difficult to eat. The result was beaten in the face by the International Olympic Organizing Committee, the reason why there is no kimchi in the Winter Olympic Village, one is that it contains nitrite, the ingredients are not healthy, eating too much is not good for the body, and the other is that the Chinese kimchi cannot be put on the table, and it is too humiliating to take it out to entertain people.
What is even more shocking to the South Koreans is that some Japanese athletes reported that they ostensibly hated the food provided by the Winter Olympics, and secretly packed a lot of fruit snacks behind their backs and took them back to their rooms to eat. Nowadays, the face of the Korean is more painful, the only kimchi that can be taken, the result is that the watermelon that has not been packed back in the end is fresh, I believe that this time it has to break the defense again.
In fact, the South Koreans' favorability in China in recent years has gradually declined to the freezing point is not without reason, obviously all aspects of the economy have been dependent on China, and even the kimchi raw material Cabbage is imported from the mainland Shandong, and when there is a lack of urea, it has to rely on the mainland, but in the end it is not only not grateful, but also has been frequently smearing the mainland. I don't know if they will turn the cabbage into rot and blame the fault of the mainland Shandong? After all, they can do anything.
