FTC launches another onsite inspection at Coupang HQ over personal data leak, PB fair trade concerns

South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has restarted an onsite inspection of Coupang, dispatching investigators to the e-commerce company’s headquarters in Seoul. Officials from multiple FTC departments are participating. The agency previously inspected Coupang last month over a personal data leak and controversy over membership withdrawal procedures. Investigators are also reviewing whether Coupang Inc Chairman Bom Kim should be designated as the controlling shareholder and probing alleged unfair trade practices involving private-brand products.
