South Korea regulator fines Agoda 2.42 billion won over unclear fees

South Korea\'s Broadcasting and Media Communications Commission said on July 6 it would fine online travel platform Agoda 2.424 billion won and issue a corrective order for violating the Telecommunications Business Act. The regulator said Agoda did not clearly disclose key information such as refund conditions, cancellation or change fees and additional charges for pay-later options during the booking process, making it difficult for users to understand costs.
