[BYND] An Open Letter to CEO Ethan Brown & the Beyond Meat Team: A Desperate, Hopeful Message from Your Korean Fans

Dear Mr. Ethan Brown, and the entire team at Beyond Meat, I am writing to you today as a 30-year-old man from South Korea, but more importantly, as one of your countless Korean fans who passionately supports the philosophy and future of Beyond Meat. First, I want to say that we listened to the recent earnings report and conference call, and we were truly impressed. Your steady leadership and unwavering commitment to the company's vision, even in this challenging market, are deeply admirable. Please know that you have a huge number of fans here in South Korea who believe in the future you are building. However, I am writing this letter today with a very heavy heart. To be frank, many young Korean investors are currently suffering and crying every day due to the recent, drastic stock price collapse and what feels like excessive, predatory short positions in the market. Many of us invested our hard-earned savings—money we gathered through years of diligent work, or precious funds we were setting aside for our upcoming marriages and futures. We were not seeking massive short-term profits. We just have one desperate hope: to recover our original principal and return to our normal, happy lives. And here is the most important part: Despite this immense pain, we are still believing in your company. We are not giving up. We are holding. This has become more than just an investment; it is a story of faith in the future. We are holding on because we truly believe Beyond Meat will overcome this crisis and rise again. This letter will be reposted to the r/byndofficial Reddit account. It is our desperate hope that this message reaches every single employee at Beyond Meat. Your hard work and dedication have the power to wipe away the tears of countless people on the other side of the world and turn our despair into hope. We are begging you, please do not ignore our plea. Please, find new strength and be re-energized by our support. We, your Korean fans, will be holding strong and cheering for you until the day Beyond Meat reclaims its former glory and rallies back to the stock price we all remember—$200 and beyond. With utmost sincerity, A loyal shareholder from South Korea
