On the 2nd, a complaint was filed in the National Newspaper that Jongwon Baek violated the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Act. In May last year, Jongwon Baek posted a video on his YouTube channel developing a new menu for Dubon Korea's franchise 'Vaxbeer'.
At that time, Jongwon Baek introduced a menu of frying chicken bones in high-temperature oil, and several LP gas cylinders were placed in the kitchen. The complainant who saw this accused him of violating safety rules.
The complainant said "Propane gas canisters are installed indoors and right next to cooking utensils. This is a violation of both the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Act and the safety rules prescribed by the fire authorities. "In the event of a fire, the entire building can be blown away." It seems that there is a need to change the cooking environment."

The Jongwon Baek has recently been controversial over the price of 'backham gift sets' 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?" "Did you develop ham in the first place?? Seasonings are added to go well with budae jjigae. When it is boiled, it is made to taste umami and various flavors. It's because I'm trying to make it taste good, but I'm not getting much convincing.
