Controversy.
In December 2020, CEO Yoshiaki Yoshida caused a backlash after commenting on the rival firm Suntory, using a racial slur against Korean Japanese people. He claimed that almost every celebrities used in Suntory's promotion has Korean lineages, while he boasted that DHC only employs models that are what he called "pure" Japanese. The CEO's comments were posted on DHC's website shortly before Suntory Wellness was announced as the market leader for the previous year.
In April 2021, in response to an interview from NHK on their racist statement, DHC claimed that most media companies in Japan including NHK who frames DHC as "racist" is ruled by people of Korean lineage, and Koreans are not minority in Japan. DHC also referred to NHK, a statutory corporation of Japan, as an enemy of the state.
