Lee Chan-jin (이찬진), head of South Korea\'s Financial Supervisory Service, said the watchdog has completed inspection procedures into Bithumb\'s bitcoin mispayment case and will pursue sanctions after additional legal review of possible violations of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act. He said inspectors found flaws in internal controls and that broader institutional improvements for the digital asset market are being prepared. He added checks were also conducted at four other exchanges.

South Korea\'s National Assembly Legislative Research Service called for a redesign of the universal viewing rights system following controversy over exclusive Olympic broadcast rights. It said the Broadcasting Act should explicitly state that eligible events must be viewable \"at no additional cost,\" so people without pay-TV or OTT subscriptions can watch. It also raised the need to expand the scope of designated events and rework the channel-based system to include online platforms and services.
