According to the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency, Kang Hyung-wook and Susan Elder were recently asked for supplementary data after conducting a statement investigation on an employee who accused them of violating the Information and Communication Network Act, and they plan to summon Kang and Susan Elder this month. The first cyber investigation unit of the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency took over the case from the Namyangju Nambu Police Station and is investigating it.
Earlier in May, all employees of the Bodum Company drew a lot of attention by revealing the private life of Kang Hyung-wook and his wife, who ran the Bodum Company, who often used to abuse power, verbal abuse, and unpaid wages. The staff said Kang Hyung-wook and his wife monitor them through their messengers and CCTVs, and 'Don't even breathe. He shocked the audience by saying that he used abusive language such as "'It's a waste to breathe' '''''''
In particular, Kang Hyung-wook and his wife have also admitted their mistakes when it comes to monitoring employees through messenger. After the controversy, Kang Hyung-wook's wife Susan, who made her position on YouTube channel 'Kang Hyung-wook's Pedestal TV', said "My son's name stood out." A mockery of his 6-month-old and 7-month-old son, KBS2"Superman appeared' My eyes turned upside down when I saw sarcastic comments about the appearance. 'Superman is back' He mocked the appearance by saying, `I make money with my son.' After that, when I nag or order work, 'What are you doing without poop?' 'Your mother will stop nagging if you're fuming. His eyes were turned upside down by such ridicule, and he couldn't let go of the messenger inspection even though he felt guilty. I watched it without permission, and I stayed up all night watching it. "It's wrong to peek into personal conversations, but I thought I should point this out. I was so angry, but I did my best to express it politely. The entire notice was posted on the group messenger room, but it eventually led to the complaint.
Kang Hyung-wook then wrote on his personal account last month that `I recently heard that a complaint was filed against my wife and me at the police station. We will sincerely investigate and reveal the truth."
Amid the controversy between Kang Hyung-wook and his wife, all employees of Bodum Company filed a complaint with the police last month, claiming that Kang Hyung-wook and his wife seriously violated their privacy by accessing in-house messengers without permission. 331 citizens who agreed with the purpose of the complaint by all employees also supported the complaint by all employees with online signatures.
Through the complaint, all employees "Kang Hyung-wook and his wife opened six months' worth of in-house messenger data on July 21, 2018, and disclosed some of the information to the entire room of the in-house messenger with 20 executives and employees." The conversation between employees in the messenger was constantly mentioned and used as a means of pressure and control. Even in the explanatory video, I decided to file a complaint justifying the infringement of confidentiality" he said.
