Buble Korea, which launched the beauty brand GLYF with Jeon So-mi, reported on social media on the 7th, “”The company’s CEO and Jeon So-mi were accused of using a design similar to the Red Cross emblem. “We have confirmed that this case was filed by a third party, not the Red Cross.”
“We then received an official reply from the Red Cross, saying, ‘We appreciate our efforts to self-correct and have no intention of proceeding with legal proceedings such as filing a complaint.’ “This matter has been discussed amicably with the Red Cross,” he said. He emphasized, “We once again make it clear that this was not an intentional act that violated the law.”
Previously, the article announced that it was producing a special kit, ‘Emotion Emergency Kit’, to promote new products. However, it was pointed out that the kit design was reminiscent of a first aid kit with a red cross on a white background, and that it may have used the Red Cross emblem.
The Red Cross emblem is an important symbol symbolizing humanitarian relief activities in war and disaster situations, and its commercial use is strictly prohibited in accordance with the Organizational Act of the Korean Red Cross. In case of violation, a fine of up to 10 million won or a fine of up to 5 million won may be imposed.
As controversy arose, the writing side stopped posting related content altogether on the 6th, saying, “”This was a mistake made in the process of visually expressing the emergency prescription concept.” “We are recovering kit package designs that have already been distributed and reproducing them,” he said.
Despite this explanation, a complaint was filed against Jeon So-mi and the CEO of Buble Korea at the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul on the 7th, alleging violation of the Korean Red Cross Organizational Act. The identity of the accuser is unknown. Police are said to be reviewing the complaint.
