South Korea’s government on Thursday disputed a U.S. congressional report accusing Seoul of discriminating against Coupang, a U.S.-listed electronic commerce giant that was hit with a record 625 billion won ($403 million) fine in June over a massive data breach affecting millions of South Korean customers.
South Korea Foreign Ministry spokesperson Park Il expressed regret over Wednesday’s report by the House Judiciary Committee, saying it reflected “only Coupang’s unilateral claims” and failed to include Seoul’s position.
