The reason why I said in a previous post on Coupang that the announcement was intentional is that Coupang has repeatedly answered, “I can’t say it’s an under investigation issue,” during the National Assembly’s pending questions and hearings.

However, Coupang suddenly changed its attitude and distributed a message to the media on December 25 that began with the phrase, “We are sending you data despite the holiday to inform you of urgent issues as soon as possible, so please refer to the report.” Moreover, the content was not even officially confirmed by a joint public-private investigation team or the police.

What is this not an intentional act?

What will the company say at the Coupang compulsory English listening hearing that will be held for two days from the 30th to the 31st…

Coupang’s unauthorized preemptive announcement of the issue currently being investigated by the public-private joint investigation team is intended to limit the incident to the deviation of an individual retiree in question, rather than to the urgency of the issue.

The key to the government’s confirmation now is whether Coupang, which has shown such a serious loophole in internal control, has properly blocked and managed deviations of other developers and retirees.

The government should conduct a thorough investigation into all hacking and infringement incidents that were not recognized or may have been concealed in the past, not limited to information leakage incidents caused by retirees.
