Amid the continuous craze for cooking survival 'black and white chefs', there was an investment fraud impersonating a Jongwon Baek.

According to the police on the 22nd, Mapo Police Station in Seoul launched an investigation before being booked after receiving a complaint against an unidentified person A suspected of fraud.

A is accused of falsely advertising the subscription of public offering shares in order to target Durbon Korea, which is represented by Jongwon Baek, for ordinary investors to apply from the 28th ahead of the KOSPI listing next month.



Mr. A reportedly impersonated a Jongwon Baek by cleverly mixing the company's introduction from the official website of The Bourbon Korea, and recommended investors to take profits in advance by investing in equity before listing, and then went into hiding. A police official said "We are identifying the suspect after receiving the complaint on the 21st."

Dubon Korea also took immediate action. Dubon Korea said "Dubon Korea is not currently guiding and joining the public offering in any way. In addition, we will strongly respond to the illegal site through a legal representative at the same time as reporting to the police, stressing that the information of the public offering owner and the illegal site are irrelevant to the company, and we urge you to avoid theft or damage of personal information due to the advertisement.
