Cooking researcher and YouTuber Lee Hye-jeong, known as "Big Mama," said her father was the first chairman of Yuhan-Kimberly.

A video titled "Director Jang Hang-jun! And the woman who lives with a king" was posted Tuesday on her YouTube channel, "Big Mama Lee Hye-jeong."

In the video, Jang said he is from Daegu and lived there until first grade. He said he attended a private elementary school and had gone to a kindergarten that was difficult for many children to attend at the time.

He added that his father ran a nylon factory in Daegu then.

Lee responded that her father was from Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, and built his factory in Daegwang-myeon on the site of his birthplace home.

When Jang asked what kind of factory her father ran, Lee replied, "He did Yuhan-Kimberly."

Jang then joked, "I shouldn’t have brought up the nylon factory," drawing laughter.
