Recently, the police have launched an investment fraud case impersonating the CEO of Jongwon Baek The Bone Korea, which is very popular with Netflix entertainment show "Black and White Cook."

The Mapo Police Station in Seoul said today (22nd) that it has received a complaint against an unidentified person A suspected of fraud and is investigating it before being booked.

Mr. A is accused of falsely advertising the subscription of public offering shares in order to target Durbon Korea's subscription to ordinary investors from the 28th ahead of its listing on the KOSPI next month.

He is said to have impersonated CEO Baek by writing an introduction to the company on the official website of The Bone Korea. Rumor has it that he/she went into hiding after recommending investors to take profits in advance through equity investments before listing. A police official said, "We are currently identifying the suspect."

The Bourbon Korea website

Dubon Korea announced on its website, "We are informing you of the 'special public offering impersonation' because the recent text and special public offering application site have been confirmed, which is expected to cause damage."

"We plan to strongly respond to the illegal site through a legal representative at the same time as reporting to the police," he said. "The public offering owner guidance and illegal sites are irrelevant to the company, so we ask that there is no theft or damage of personal information from the advertisement."
