Ask what Korea is talking about.

A Seoul court on Thursday rejected an injunction lawsuit by Coupang against a fine of about 423 billion won ($315 million) levied by a state-run data protection agency over a massive data leak, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The court's decision does not suspend the fine, contrary to the reader's query. Separately, Coupang reported an operating loss of 642.3 billion won in the third quarter, its second-largest since going public in 2021, staying in the red for a third consecutive quarter, KBS World reports. The company swung to a net loss largely due to warehouse fire-related costs, and accumulated 1.83 trillion won in operating losses in the first nine months of the year, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. A ruling party lawmaker said Coupang is using its Washington lobbying network to portray Korea's enforcement of domestic laws as discrimination against American businesses, the Korea Times reports. Coupang chairman Bom Kim disclosed plans to deploy AI cameras at logistics facilities and target a mid-2027 profit recovery, Business Korea reports.
