The Korea Communications Standards Commission has decided to request correction such as blocking access to 13 cases of information that illegally advertises or sells the obesity treatment "Higobi."
The obesity treatment Hugo Bee, which was officially released in Korea on the 15th of last month, is a specialized drug that requires a doctor's prescription, and reviews and advertisement information sharing price information are subject to correction requests because they violate the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act.
The Korea Communications Standards Commission explained why it decided to quickly block related information, saying that illegal online sales have been on the rise recently due to rising social interest and demand for Hugo Bee.
He also stressed that he will take preemptive measures in the future to prevent public damage caused by illegal online sales information as social concerns grow about the misuse and abuse of Hugo Bee and its side effects.
