Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's broadcasting and telecommunications regulator on Wednesday fined Google and Apple a combined 63.7 billion won ($47.6 million) for forcing app developers to use their in-app payment systems and for improperly delaying app reviews, Yonhap reports. The Korea Times confirms the figure, calling it the first sanction under the 2021 law banning such practices. Korean media frame the penalty as a landmark enforcement of the in-app payment ban, with Yonhap noting it is the first action since the law took effect.
