Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's antitrust watchdog, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC), has imposed a fine of about 20 billion won ($15.1 million) on Samsung Electronics for misleading advertisements that concealed performance-limiting features of its Galaxy smartphones' Game Optimizing Service (GOS). Yonhap reports the FTC decided on the tentative fine on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026. Samsung has declared it will challenge the fine through legal action, stating it will "actively explain" its position through legal procedures, according to Maeil Business Newspaper. The company argues the fine is unjust, though specific grounds were not detailed in the reports.
