While Jongwon Baek, a restaurant businessman, has been directly hit by the controversy over ham trade, it has still not turned public opinion.

On Jongwon Baek's YouTube channel on the 19th, do you know 'Bibim Sujebi?A video titled ' was posted. The video was posted three weeks after clarifying the controversy over the above description of 'Backham' on the 26th of last month. The Jongwon Baek posted a video introducing his usual cooking recipes, but criticism flooded the comments section.

Netizens posted the video without an apology related to the above controversy on the Jongwon Baek "If you're going to be so unresponsive, you should have posted the video earlier. "It's not right to do this after thinking about it for three weeks", "Why did Ham stop selling?", "Did you just upload the recipe video without apologizing?" and "Is this the right response?" are asking the Jongwon Baek to apologize.

The Jongwon Baek recently became controversial over the price of the 'Backham Gift Set' sold ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. Dubon Korea sold the Backham gift set at 28,500 won, a 45 percent discount from its list price of 51,900 won, with some criticizing it for its low pork content compared to its high price. In response, Jongwon Baek said on his YouTube channel on the 26th of last month "The above is not real. Since we are not the No. 1 player in the industry and are a latecomer, production costs are high. There is a big difference in cost because it is a small amount of production."

In addition, the reason why the pork content is less than that of other companies' ham is that the pork content is slightly more than 85% based on 200g. Some hams have 6-7% more. Isn't the biggest difference between that and trying to save meat?" "When ham was first developed, spices were added to go well with budae jjigae. When it is boiled, it is made to taste umami and various flavors. I tried to make it delicious, but it didn't get much convincing. As a result, Jongwon Baek, which had stopped its YouTube activities, returned after three weeks, but has yet to turn public opinion.
