After hearing the statement, a decision was made to issue a warning and discipline the personnel.

The decision of the review committee is divided into 'no problem', 'opinion' and 'recommendation' as administrative guidance, 'caution' and 'warning' as legal sanctions, 'program correction/modification/suspension or disciplinary action against personnel', and 'fine'. do.

Committee member Ok Si-chan said, “Is he possessed by a ghost? “It may seem presumptuous, but that’s true,” he said.

Chairman Jeong Yeon-ju said, “Even after swearing, he did not officially apologize, and only apologized when it was adopted as an agenda item for the National Security Council. “It seems like they didn’t look at the issue seriously,” he pointed out.

A Hyundai Home Shopping official who attended the statement of opinion on this day said, “The management gave the performer (Mr. Jeong) a verbal warning, posted an apology in the name of the CEO on the website, and are checking the system to prevent the same incident from recurring in the future.”

He added, “It’s late, but please take leniency in consideration of what he realized and reflected on,” and added, “This hasn’t happened in 20 years.”
