Posted as it is without noticing the garbled characters in the two URLs.

● 1st place

*The part that should be "jo1" is garbled as "jol"

* The part that should be "youtube" is garbled as "v (vi) outube"

→ The garbled URL was a valid URL and transitioned to JO1 and a site unrelated to our company.

We sincerely accept this matter, as well as the repeated posting mistakes and typos from the other day, and in order to prevent recurrence of future SNS operations, we will cooperate with third-party organizations and review our internal business personnel and check system. , we will try to improve the management system.
