In 2020 and 2021, CEO Yoshiaki Yoshida made statements considered offensive to Korean people. They included promoting DHC's employment of "pure Japanese" staff and models without Korean heritage, using of the pejorative term "チョン" on DHC's official Instagram,[4] and negatively describing their appearance.[5] This has generated backlash and was followed by the company's exit from South Korea at the end of 2021.[6][7]
