Jeon Jeong-su, Selling Hand Sanitizers Amid 'COVID-19'? "NO, Donations Will Be Made Separately"
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Actress Byun Jung-soo clarified on the 23rd, asking people "not to misunderstand" amid criticism regarding the sale of hand sanitizers.
Byun Jung-soo said in a post on her Instagram that day, "I thought it was good to both donate and allow the general public to purchase and protect themselves."
She added, "This time, I will make it possible to purchase from V-Shield, and I will also buy as much as I can to donate."
She continued, "I will take both criticism and praise to heart," and stated, "No donation can be made falsely. That is also why I have been running the Love Flea Market for several years."
She further added, "I will propose products to you more carefully, so I hope everyone calms down and has a somewhat comfortable Sunday."
Earlier, Byun Jung-soo posted promotional material on social networking services (SNS) announcing that she would sell hand sanitizers through the shopping mall she operates.
Some criticized this, saying it might be a commercial exploitation amid the nationwide spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the resulting fear.

Please do not misunderstand.
I thought it was good to both donate and allow the general public to purchase and protect themselves.
This time, I will make it possible to purchase from V-Shield, and I will also buy as much as I can to donate.
I will take both criticism and praise to heart!
And no donation can be made falsely. That is also why I have been running the Love Flea Market for several years.
I will propose products to you more carefully, so I hope everyone calms down and has a somewhat comfortable Sunday.
