South Korea's ruling Democratic Party on the 4th strongly rejected a recent U.S. House Judiciary Committee midterm report on e‑commerce firm Coupang, calling its findings seriously inaccurate and saying Coupang is attempting to shift blame for a large-scale user data leak. The U.S. report said Coupang had long been a target of the South Korean government and accused Seoul of carrying out forced investigations, imposing overly burdensome regulatory requirements and excessive fines. Party spokesperson Jang Yun‑mi said the U.S. report relied on Coupang's unilateral claims and unverified data and seriously distorted the government's position, adding South Korea will not apply discriminatory or unfair regulation based on a company's nationality and that Coupang should stop shifting responsibility onto the government.
