Not sure if anyone here’s aware about this since I can’t find a post yet so I’m gonna share it here.
For full details you can watch the clip. If anyone’s fluent in Korean could translate the details that maybe missing would be highly appreciated.
Here’s the auto translated transcript-
A workshop in Gimpo City, Gyeonggi-do, which makes mask packs. The reporter directly applied as a part-timer. ["Hello, I'm going to fold the mask pack…."] Fold the mask sheet and put it in the packaging. But the worker is bare hands with only thimbles. [Worker/Voice modulation: "(Can I not wear gloves or anything else?) I sweat when I wear gloves…."] With bare hands without a hair net, the reporter folded 200 mask packs himself. No one points to hygiene. They say it doesn't matter if you even take it home and work on it. [Worker/Voice modulation: "(Do you all take it home?) I'll take it Take it with you."] ["When I work at home, my hair comes out…. The weird thing is that what you do at home makes a little more dust."] There is a dizzying pile of materials in the workshop. Even box packaging takes place in the same space. The facility that manufactures the finished mask pack is not even registered with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. [All employees of the mask pack company/voice modulation: "The cars of the ward office are walking around. I have to stop working every time. I'm afraid it's going to get caught."] The product was distributed in large quantities in online shopping malls, etc. The company knew it was illegal, but said it happened in the process of moving the manufacturing facility. [Company official/voice modulation: "Because we had no choice but to do so due to circumstances…. There was another part that I did to make it cleaner a little easier more thoroughly…."] The Gyeonggi-do Special Judicial Police Corps is investigating the company for violating the Cosmetics Act. This is Lee Hee-yeon from KBS News.
Brand names were not shared but glimpses of alleged sheet mask is shown in the vid. Comments are angry about the no reveal.
