Former Vice Chairman Koo Bon-seong of Ourhome is being accused of violating quarantine rules and visiting the hospital of his father, Chairman Koo Ja-hak.

Former vice-chairman Koo, who resigned from the front line of management after causing a social scandal by driving in retaliation, is once again at the center of controversy for violating quarantine rules. In addition, former vice-chairman Koo is said to have shown a high-pressure attitude toward hospital officials who restrained him while entering the ward.

CBS Nocut News reported that former vice-chairman Koo visited the room of Koo, who was hospitalized for a chronic illness at Samsung Seoul Hospital in Gangnam-gu, Seoul around 10 am on the 27th.

According to CBS Nocut News, the former vice-chairman was unable to meet. The hospital has banned all visits to the inpatient room for quarantine, and only one person who has submitted a PCR negative confirmation can stay in the room as a guardian, because there were already people taking care of them.

It is reported that former vice chairman Koo ignored the nurse’s request to undergo a PCR test and raised his voice to “report” despite the restraints of hospital security personnel.

A hospital official said in an interview with CBS Nocut News, “I told him to come in after conducting a PCR test if he wants to replace Chairman Koo with a person taking care of him.”

The former vice-chairman of the former vice-chairman Koo did not take a special position on the allegation of violating quarantine rules. In addition, it is known that the hospital did not report to the police despite former vice-chairman Goo’s violation of quarantine rules.

▶Meanwhile, Our Home, where former Vice Chairman Koo worked, is a food distribution and catering company that is headed by Vice Chairman Koo Ji-eun, the youngest daughter of founder Koo Ja-hak.

Recently, there is concern that former vice chairman Koo and his eldest daughter, Mi-hyeon Goo, and their eldest daughter, Ms. Gumi, requested an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. Previously, in the management dispute in 2017, former vice-chairman Koo took over and in 2020, current vice-chairman Koo Ji-eun took over the management rights.
