Singer Baek Z Young has apologized for personally using Coupang’s reusable insulated delivery bag, known as the “Fresh Bag.”
On the 13th, she posted a pinned comment on her YouTube channel, saying, “I apologize for causing concern by taking a Coupang Fresh Bag outside and using it. Out of ignorance, I showed the wrong behavior.”
She added, “I understand the concerns raised and have immediately deleted and re-edited the scene. I’ll be more careful when producing content going forward.”
The controversy started with a video released on the 12th titled, “Why Did Baek Z Young ♥ Jung Suk-won Flip Out While Eating Juicy Grilled Beef Intestines and Spicy Yukgaejang? (Perfect Match).” The video shows Baek heading out on a camping trip with her husband, Jung Suk-won. During the outing, viewers spotted her taking a Fresh Bag―an insulated bag used for fresh-food deliveries―outside and using it, which sparked backlash.
Coupang’s Fresh Bag is a reusable insulated bag for delivering fresh groceries. The standard is to collect it after delivery. Because of that, many pointed out it shouldn’t be used for personal purposes.
Clips of the scene spread quickly across online communities and social media. Some commenters said, “Isn’t it a problem to take back a bag that’s meant to be collected?” and “It’s not appropriate from a hygiene standpoint either.”
Baek Z Young’s YouTube channel is produced with her husband Jung Suk-won and has over 400,000 subscribers.
