Hong Won-sik, chairman of Namyang Dairy Products, held a public apology press conference on the 4th at Namyang Dairy Products headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, regarding the 'Bulgaris incident.' Last month, Namyang Dairy Products announced at a symposium on 'Development of antiviral foods in the COVID-19 era' that the Bulgaris product was confirmed to reduce COVID-19 by 77.8%. However, the research results were revealed to have exaggerated the findings from animal 'cell-level' experiments, causing controversy. In response, 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@
