Producer Lee Young-don, who gained popularity by hosting ‘Consumer Accusation’ and ‘Food X-Files’ in the past, once again opened his mouth about the controversial ocher pack case.
On the 25th, shamans’ troubles counseling web entertainment ‘Taiwan Gods of the Era’, PD Lee Yeong-don appeared and talked about the past controversies and worries about the future.
Regarding the civil and criminal complaints against Democratic Party lawmaker Ho-jung Yoon, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong, and malicious commenters last year, PD Lee said, “I did it because I thought it was necessary to leave a record and organize something.”
PD Lee said in April of last year that he would take legal action against them for making publicly offensive remarks to him in relation to the late actor Kim Young-ae, who died in the yellow clay pack incident.
PD Lee said, “I reflected because I thought there could be something wrong with my past actions or the side that gave excuses to those who criticized me. But I can’t continue to live like this. In fact, I haven’t done anything wrong. Paradoxically, it was my fault for thinking that way.”
Regarding the ocher pack incident, he said, “At the time, not only the products that Kim Young-ae’s husband made, but all the products on the market were collected and inspected. So heavy metals were detected.” He did, and he apologized appropriately for it.”
He continued, “It was also unclear from the standpoint of a person broadcasting with facts what he had to apologize for, and even when he apologized, it came out like, ‘What are you apologizing for?’ I would have told you not to do it,” he said frustrated.
Actress Kim Young-ae, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2017, was in ‘Shock! Heavy metal detection in ocher packs’ episode suffered a major blow to the business. ‘Chamtowon’, of which Kim Young-ae was the major shareholder, saw a sharp drop in sales after the broadcast and eventually went bankrupt.
The staff members sued this PD and others, saying, “It is not iron powder, but a magnetic material unique to ocher.”
