Samsung Fights 20B Won GOS Fine, Cites Ended Lawsuits
South Korea's Fair Trade Commission (FTC) decided on October 27 to impose a tentative fine of about 20.1 billion won ($15.1 million) on Samsung Electronics for misleading advertisements that concealed performance limits on Galaxy S21, S22, and Tab S8 during high-spec gaming, citing the Game Optimizing Service (GOS). Yonhap and Korea Times report the FTC's decision, with Business Korea noting the fine as 20 billion won. Samsung Electronics has declared legal action, saying it is difficult to agree with the FTC's conclusion, and noted that related lawsuits have already concluded, according to Dong-A Ilbo and Kyunghyang Shinmun. The company argues the ads were not deceptive under the label advertising act, as reported by KBS World.
