「Muk-eong-don TV. 〈 Bakery
These are mukbang YouTubers.
Foods with well-known names must be used as content.
〈Feed Yuwae today.〉
〈 Isn’t it time to try it and see why YouTubers eat this? 〉
It doesn’t necessarily bring about good results
The bottom is exposed.
It’s just a fad.
Actually, it is not delicious food.
It is common for bubbles to burst.
Wow~!
Not so.
Rather, it was underestimated.
It’s a visual that makes you think like that.
〈 The croissant explodes with the scent of butter, and the cream bread explodes with whipped cream. Hey, is this delicious? 〉
It’s not just about looking good.
Good reviews.
A rare reaction erupts.
It’s delicious.
It’s worth a try.
It attracts attention beyond that.
〈So do you think you know why YouTubers eat it? 〉
〈 Hey, this is sweeter than the number of views on YouTube. 〉
Best reviews.
It also receives good reviews from famous YouTubers.
Percussion!
And that leads to inevitable results.
The pros and cons argument.
〈The food market has released another novel item and is becoming a hot topic…, This is the cheapest price in the baking world ~ the cheapest price ~ they say. 〉
It’s right that it’s delicious.
It’s a cheap meal.
Advocates are also divided into two categories.
Ends the debate.
A YouTuber with professional knowledge will decide.
〈What do you think, Chef?〉
〈 I tried eating it too. I tried it, but I don’t think either side is saying something wrong.〉
Food.
It’s more complicated than you can imagine.
The world of gastronomy is also worth your attention.
That fact became known.
Through a convenient platform called YouTube.
Wow~!
Cut the whipped cream bread with both hands.
The outer skin splits to reveal the white inner skin.
〈The better the bread, the softer, moister, and in a word, much more delicious. Looking at this bread alone, it is difficult to say that it is a high-quality bread.〉
Outer skin.
That’s just the way it is.
This is the quality you often see when you enter a street bakery.
Please!
The inside flesh was different.
Dip your fingers into the whipped cream and eat it by the spoonful.
It is a very extravagant act in Korea.
This is because fresh cream is expensive.
〈This is pure 100% animal whipped cream.〉
〈Is there a difference between animal and vegetable? 〉
〈The dimensions are different!〉
No, the milk itself is expensive.
Of course, the price of whipped cream is also expensive.
So companies use shortcuts.
It is an economically practical method.

『Fresh Cream Difference』
(1) Taste
Animal〉Vegetable
(2) Price
Animal
The price is cheap, but the expiration date is extremely long.
〈Ah, I see.〉
〈You can feel it when you taste it. Isn’t it much more nutty and refreshing than the cream you usually eat? 〉
〈I think so after hearing it!〉
Commercial bread.
This is why we use vegetable fresh cream.
I mix things up that are a bit good.
Using only animal-based cream does not add up to a cost.
That is common sense so far.
〈The material is so good. Since it is a food market that produces its own agricultural products, they can put so much milk cream in it.”
Break it down.
Bread at the food market.
Becoming popular wasn’t about being trendy.
Ahh!
It’s not just whipped cream bread.
Although it is difficult to say that the croissants are of the highest quality.
〈It’s delicious. Jeon?〉
〈A properly made croissant has every single grain intact. It’s bread that you can enjoy with the aroma of butter bursting out as hundreds of layers crumble apart. 〉
〈Ah~.〉
Such trivial things.
There are bound to be more people who don’t criticize than those who criticize.
Ah! Ahh!
It feels more intuitive.
As soon as you take a bite, the flavor of butter explodes.
This is because good ingredients were used.
You can make delicious bread with just that.

Impressionism 1 day ago 乃 9.7 thousand
It’s the Chiwonsa of the bakery world haha
The price is cheap, and the taste is good

Pangbare 1 day ago 乃 7.4 thousand
Quality is factory-made
The ingredients are heavenly… !!

Yeonsol Kim 1 day ago 乃 6.9 thousand
Bread can be delicious with just the right ingredients
I don’t think I’ll ever go to a Paris bakery again

Maybe it’s obvious.
Korean consumers could not enjoy it.
Why?
The price of food ingredients is expensive.
Companies make excessive profits.
‘…’
Even if just those two things are resolved, the quality of the product will change.
It was proven.
“The complaints from franchise owners are exploding. Why don’t we supply these breads?…”
“We have fresh cream bread and croissants.”
“I think they have sophisticated tastes.”
Such a situation.
For the SCP Foundation, it’s like lightning.
No, you could say it was unexpected.
They believed in their technological capabilities.
Making better quality bread and more types.
“It seems like the YouTubers have done something. They’re causing trouble because it’s gone viral… But these things tend to quiet down over time.”
It is no match for me.
At best, there is no way you can fall for factory-made bread, which is only a handful.
I firmly believe.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime boom.
They thought their superiority would not be shaken.
Kwaang─!
Reality.
Accept the report card.
Jang Moon-geun’s fist, round as a bread, hits the conference table.
“You said it would be quiet?”
“”…””
“You bastard executives want to become unemployed as a group?!”
It’s getting pushed out.
The much-touted effect of monopoly has not been.
Public criticism is also intensifying.
They say they are controlling the price of bread.
“I can give an excuse for that… Or a good reason. It’s because the price of wheat has been skyrocketing recently.”
We are on the defense.
That doesn’t mean it’s a dead end.
‘Even self-employed people will soon notice abnormal signs.’
They are not the only ones who feel threatened.
Bakeries and cafés across the country are also communities.
Cheap bread at the food market.
Because it interferes with the profits of self-employed people.
“Food markets are trying to take over alley commercial areas by using their production power. I think that’s the frame that needs to be put in place.”
“You have a great talent for instigation.”
“Hehe, that’s too much praise.”
Use them.
It serves as a vanguard to drive out the food market.
‘The more you step into this industry, the more.’
It is inevitable.
It causes dissatisfaction among self-employed people.
All you have to do is to encourage it appropriately.
“This is a method that even Ohsung Group could not pull off. No matter how much Lee Chan-wook is, there is nothing he can do about it. If just one large company sells cheap bread at a time like now when wheat prices are soaring… They will definitely be frowned upon.”
The method was also strong and powerful.
It is know-how accumulated over decades.
I thought it would work this time too.
* * *
Materials.
It can be said to be the basis of making all foods.
‘Especially imported products.’
Prices fluctuate.
This is because we are moving toward a global trend.
“Recently, wheat prices have been sky-high. Self-employed people who run cafés and bakeries are also struggling…”
The price of wheat is one of them.
A country that accounts for ¼ of the world’s wheat exports.
‘Because it’s Ukraine and Russia.’
Wheat prices are rising like crazy.
I’m not getting excited because the price went up by 1,000 won.

『Wheat Futures Price』
1160.70$ ▲643.07$ (+124.23%)
[Graph steadily rising after Corona. Jpg]
±——————————————–
More than twice.
We were hit directly by the aftermath of inflation and war.
Although it seems reasonable for the price of bread to rise.
“I would like to hear CEO Lee Chan-wook’s honest feelings about whether he is neglecting the difficulties of these self-employed people.”
“It’s true that you are neglecting it.”
“… Yes?”
“Because you don’t have to worry about it.”
Not at all.
It can be said to be typical bullshit for public propaganda.
‘What does it matter whether the price of wheat goes up or not?’
Wheat prices are rising?
The price of bread will also have to go up!
The average person may think that way.
The reality is completely different.
There is almost no correlation between the price of wheat and the price of bread.
“95% of the cost of bread is labor and electricity costs. Even if the cost of ingredients, which only accounts for 5%, increases by 2 times, 4 times, or even 10 times, the difference is not as big as you think.”
It is only used as a basis for companies to raise their prices.
When material prices fall.
‘Close your mouth.’
It doesn’t just happen in Korea.
What companies do is similar in every country.
It is especially severe in Korea.
It controls not only the finished product but also the cost of materials.
“I heard that self-employed people are having a lot of trouble…”
“It’s all the big companies’ fault.”
“Are you saying the food market is different?”
“Yes.”
It is similar to the chicken industry.
Just as 16 companies, including Haram, colluded in the price of chicken.
‘Because the top five companies are tightly controlling the flour market.’
It’s much easier.
Those five companies also have subsidiaries and parent companies that consume large quantities of flour.
There are a lot of places like the second SCP foundation.
It can be said to be the reality of the Korean flour market.
“We also use imported flour. It has nothing to do with the production capacity of the food market. Nevertheless, the price difference… Shows how much profiteering the existing companies were making.”
We must tear it down.
The baking industry, which only made a few pennies, was not even the goal.
