“Thank you for that. Yong-bin, who left Hanmi Pharmaceutical”
The case of’Hanmi Pharmaceutical Yongbin’, who said he left the company with a thank-you banner after earning 5 billion won by investing in bitcoin, was confirmed as fiction.
On the 18th, an official from Hanmi Pharm said, “I know that an employee who retired after working for 15 years has put up a banner to show his gratitude to his colleagues.”
On this day, in the online financial community, etc., the picture of the banner that Yongbin, who left the company with a’coin jackpot’, hung up became a hot topic. The photo shows a banner hanging at the office building of Hanmi Pharm, Paltan-myeon, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, saying,’Yongbin, who left Hanmi Pharm, thanked him for the past time.’ In addition, it was explained that the publisher of the banner along with the photo expressed his gratitude for Hanmi Pharm, who had served for 15 years, after making 5 billion won in cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
Netizens cheered with comments such as “Hanmi Pharm’s true winner Yongbin-hyung”, “I made 5 billion won, so I deserve a banner for the company”, and “I am fighting until the day I become like Yongbin-nim of Hanmi Pharmaceutical.”
However, an official from Hanmi Pharm explained, “It seems to have been made up by people who saw the banner.”
Meanwhile, the price of bitcoin on this day exceeded 50,000 dollars (about 55 million won) each. The highest price is around $52,600. As a result, the price of bitcoin has more than quadrupled last year and has already increased by an additional 80% this year.
