Recently, Ham, from Jongwon Baek, was suspected of using the technique as if it were intentionally giving a large discount after measuring the price high on purpose. Jongwon Baek said that his ham is more expensive than the No. 1 ham in the industry, saying, `The most suspicious look is to set a high price and discount it by half. It's about when you're going to use a trick, but it's not really a trick."




Then "It's embarrassing, but our ham is not the number one in the industry. Of course, latecomers cost a lot of production. Compared to a company that can be produced in large quantities, we are in a small amount. There is a huge difference in cost. If it sells a lot and mass production goes in, it can be lowered."

Regardless of the margin, it was done with the aim of letting us know a lot about gift sets. I say it with pride. The 45% discount event has very little margin..." he pointed out.

As for the rather low meat content of about 85%, there is a view that he tried to save meat. How can you reduce the amount of meat to raise 100 won. When it was originally developed, it was made for budae jjigae, so it contains lamb. When boiled, it was made to contain various flavors such as the umami taste of the soup. We added more of our own seasoning, and when we tried to make it delicious, that's what happened."
