Hong Won-sik, chairman of Namyang Dairy Products, is leaving after holding a public apology press conference on the 'Bulgaris incident' at Namyang Dairy Products headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the 4th. Last month, Namyang Dairy Products announced at a symposium on 'Development of antiviral foods in the COVID-19 era' that Bulgaris products reduced COVID-19 by 77.8%. However, the research results were reported to have exaggerated the findings from animal 'cell-level' experiments, causing controversy. Accordingly, Hong Won-sik, chairman of Namyang Dairy Products, expressed his intention to resign during the public apology press conference that day. / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
