The beauty and distribution industries are viewing Park Pyeong-sun, CEO of Organic Forever, who is suspected of assaulting an employee at an imported car dealership with a belt, with coldness. Some in the industry are concerned that this assault allegation could not only damage the company's image but also lead to consumer boycotts.
According to relevant industry sources on Tuesday, voices of criticism and concern are emerging from parts of the beauty and distribution industries over the assault allegations surrounding Park. Amidst suspicions that Park assaulted an employee at an imported car dealership with a belt, testimonies have also surfaced alleging that he previously engaged in verbal abuse and physical violence against employees.
In the beauty industry, voices are emerging stating that Park's actions have crossed the line. The gaze on this incident is even colder given that he is a figure who served as an executive at major cosmetics companies before founding Organic Forever and pushing for a listing on the U.S. NASDAQ.
A source in the beauty industry said, "I was shocked upon hearing about the incident," adding, "It is incomprehensible that the CEO of a company selling high-end cosmetics and preparing for a U.S. listing would behave in such a manner." The source further expressed concern, saying, "This serious abuse of power could have a negative impact not only on the company but on the entire industry."
In the distribution industry, concerns are emerging that this controversy could also affect the sales of Organic Forever products. If the CEO's personal conduct leads to brand image damage and consumer boycotts, it could become a burden for the distribution industry selling the products as well.
A source in the distribution industry said, "If negative perceptions of the company increase due to the CEO's actions, it could lead to boycotts," adding, "In the case of platforms that earn revenue through fees and such, they are bound to suffer direct damage if the revenue of listed companies deteriorates."
