The results of a joint investigation into Coupang's data leak by the Korean government may influence the U.S. position on its issues with the company.
On the 10th, the Korean government released the results of a joint investigation into the data leak incident involving Coupang, raising questions about whether the U.S. government, which has been pressuring Seoul regarding Coupang, will change its stance. The investigation revealed that Coupang may have minimized the scale of the damage and allowed log records to be deleted despite government orders for data preservation, undermining the U.S. argument for protecting the company. Meanwhile, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee had issued a subpoena to Coupang's interim CEO, Harold Rogers, requiring him to testify on the 23rd regarding concerns that Korean regulatory actions are discriminating against American tech firms and threatening criminal penalties against American citizens.
