Aside from her dating life, reporters also asked Kayan Choi about some netizens complaining about her selling cheap Tao Bao clothing at a higher price. She clarifies, “No, we didn’t. I have bought “Made in China” clothing before, but I went to buy it in Guangzhou. Now I go to Korea to buy inventory. Even though the wholesaler is Korean, but you can’t 100% guarantee it’s “Made in Korea” because some of the Korean brands are made in Chinese factories so some of them will say “Made in China.”
