Earlier in May, the Suseo Police Station in Seoul decided not to send Yeo Esther, who was accused of violating the Food Labeling and Advertising Act, to 'No Charges'.
On the 3rd, Yeo Esther revealed her honest feelings through YouTuber 'Essder's Esther TV'.
He confessed that the job as a doctor is subject to many restrictions on expression related to the sale of health functional foods.
"Things that I can't do because I'm a doctor, are restricted in delivering information."When the employee said ", Yeo Esther said "So if I keep making our company like this 'Using doctors' I'll return it"
Then he said "Doctor selling drugs? Isn't it better for doctors to do health functional foods than others. And I started the first thing that other doctors don't do in Korea. I did it because I needed it. If you bully me like this because I'm a doctor, I won't be a doctor. Don't bother our employees anymore."
Meanwhile, Yeo Esther was accused by A, a former director of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, in November last year. In the process of promoting the health functional food company 'Esther Formula' product operated by Yeo Esther, A claimed that it was advertising based on unconfirmed contents using its doctor's status. In addition, more than half of the 400 products sold in shopping malls violated the law.
At the time, Yeo Esther issued a statement and refuted "Not true at all". "All advertisements are advertisements deliberated by the Health Functional Food Association, the agency officially entrusted by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety to deliberate on advertisements. Most of the advertisements that the accuser A claimed were illegal are part of the magazine's phrase that was operated to provide health information to consumers. It is not an explanation of the products we sell."
