Coupang, Inc. swung to a net loss in the third quarter from a year earlier, largely due to costs caused by a warehouse fire, the company said Wednesday. The U.S.-listed e-commerce giant reported the results for the three months ended in September, with Yonhap and the Korea Times both carrying the announcement. The loss was attributed to fire-related expenses, though specific figures were not detailed in the reports. Separately, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission has asked prosecutors to exercise leniency for two former Coupang workers indicted in a 'blacklist' case, according to the Korea Times on Oct. 29. The workers were accused of leaking company data to divulge allegations that Coupang maintained a blacklist of certain individuals.
