Comedian Lee Soo-geun’s wife, Park Ji-yeon, refuted the allegation of copying tteokbokki products head-on.
On the 9th, Park Ji-yeon released an official message from a tteokbokki maker, saying, “I am releasing an official document to confirm the facts” through her Instagram. In the official document, “Yonine products manufactured by our company did not copy existing products at the time during the development process.”
Previously, Park Ji-yeon had been criticized by some netizens, such as ‘The tteokbokki being sold has the same ingredients as tteokbokki products already on the market’. Regarding this, Park Ji-yeon said, “It is not a copy product of a specific company that has been released in the same factory. During the development period, we put a lot of effort into sensory testing and sampling, and I would like to inform you that the content and ingredients are also different. It proves that there is no basis for slandering as it is a product.”
Park Ji-yeon said, “Recipes of food are taste, so sampling according to the taste determines the ratio of ingredient content. Just because it was released in the same factory first and the labeling is the same, you can be mistaken for a copy.” Are you attacking people with the .”
He continued, “My Instagram feed is not only a space to promote my brand, but also a space to share the daily life of my family that children and children’s friends see. I stress once again that I have never written any slanderous posts or comments. We will capture and take legal action against the brand slander and speculation about a specific person.”
Meanwhile, Park Ji-yeon married Lee Soo-geun in 2008. She has two sons with her.

I am sorry to say that the focus of the controversy is not on me, but at the same time, I am releasing an official statement to confirm the facts.
4. First of all, Yonine products manufactured by our company did not copy our existing products during the development process. 5. We have been collaborating with Yonine brand executives and employees to develop the Yonine brand ODM, and have continued to test recipes and sensory. Data from the entire process can also be provided as evidence. ( At the time, development process meeting meeting CCTV, sensory test sample shipment details ) 12. In the case of oil tteokbokki manufactured by our company, we receive delivery from an outsourced source and manufacture it as a finished product. 14. As the sauce used for oil tteokbokki was selected by the same outsourced company, it is judged to be a misunderstanding due to the similar ingredient base. 15. However, we would like to inform you that Yonine Oil Tteokbokki is not our original copy product. 16. Yonine Oil Topokki Base Sauce provided and developed by Dongwon Home** is different from the sauce ingredients used in our existing products in three major ways. (Type of soy sauce, garlic content, sodium L-glutamate content) * In addition, products manufactured through ODM cooperation are legal even if the same outsourced source is selected, unless a 100% recipe is provided to us and it is not an OEM contract product manufactured. There is no legal basis for slandering a copy. Also, because there is a difference in the (taste) sensory test during the development process, the actual content of the ingredient is also different.
We will summarize the official letter received from the factory.
As a result, we would like to inform you once again that it is not a copy product of a specific company that was previously released in the same factory. We have put a lot of effort into sensory testing and sampling during the development period, and we inform you that the content and ingredients are also different.
Since a food’s recipe is a taste, sampling according to its taste (sensory test) determines the proportion of ingredient content. (As you know, soy sauce, gochujang, types of garlic, etc. have a lot of content.) Just because it was released in the same factory first and the labeling is the same, you can be mistaken for a copy. ……… I understand………….
But why are you attacking people with such venomous words?
My Instagram feed is not only a space for promoting my brand, but also a space for sharing the daily life of my family that children and children’s friends also see. Also, I would like to emphasize once again that I have never written any slanderous posts or comments.
From now on, we will capture and take legal action against the slander of me and the brand and the words that speculate on a specific person.
