Urban Zakapa's Park Yong-in Faces Legal Issues Over Kimchi Labeling Violation

Park Yong-in, a member of the popular South Korean group Urban Zakapa and the representative of Virture Company, is facing legal issues as the company's kimchi product has been penalized for violating food labeling laws.

According to industry sources on the 24th, Park Yong-in's kimchi brand 'Youimi' was found to have incorrect labeling, leading to a corrective order from the Food Safety Information Service.

Virture Company explained, "The error occurred during the consignment production process with Gongdrin Kimchi, and it was 100% the manufacturer's mistake," adding that "all incorrect product manufacturing report numbers have been corrected."

Previously, Park Yong-in was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, for violating the same law with an advertisement for 'Butterless Butter Beer.' The company, Virture Company, was also fined 10 million KRW.
