South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media Communications Commission has fined KT 640 million won for violations of the Telecommunications Business Act during Galaxy S25 pre-orders. The regulator said KT told customers benefits would be available unless a closing notice was posted, but limited the event to the first 1,000 people. It also said KT unilaterally cancelled 7,127 contracts submitted via a YouTuber and Genie TV despite customers completing verification and payment steps.
