Tsingtao, anyone?
Tsingtao beers are displayed at a supermarket in Seoul on Monday. Sales for Tsingtao beer dropped 26.2 percent over the weekend compared to last week for one convenience store chain, and decreased 20 percent and 13 percent for two other chains. This comes after the now-viral video of an employee seemingly urinating in the production area of a Tsingtao factory in Qingdao, China, popped up. BK, the Korean importer of Tsingtao, issued a statement on Sunday that the beer produced at the factory shown in the video is for the Chinese market, and that separate manufacturing facilities are operated for exports, including those for Korea.
