‘Gwanbong-gwon and Coupang’ Special Investigation Ends Next Week… Will It Reveal the ‘Higher-Ups’ of Investigation Pressure and Evidence Loss
The special investigation into Coupang's unpaid severance pay allegations and the evidence loss related to Gwanbong-gwon is approaching its deadline, focusing on whether it can uncover the alleged higher-up pressures within the prosecution.
The special investigation team led by Ahn Gwon-seob is nearing the conclusion of its probe into serious allegations against Coupang, particularly surrounding unpaid severance payments and the mysterious loss of evidence referred to as 'Gwanbong-gwon.' With only ten days remaining until the investigation officially concludes on November 5, the team has already charged the former and current representatives of Coupang Fulfillment Services, which raises anticipation regarding how the remaining issues, including allegations of pressure from the prosecution, will be resolved. This investigation, which began on December 26 last year and has since undergone one extension, is significant as it seeks to address not only the specific misconduct at Coupang but also its implications for platform workers across the industry.
