Coupang granted suspension for W201b penalty related to collecting user information

What happened: The Seoul Administrative Court granted Coupang a stay of execution for a 201.16 billion won penalty surcharge levied over unauthorized collection of online user activities. Why it matters: The court found the PIPC measure could cause irreparable damage to Coupang and that suspension would not severely harm the public interest. Coupang has filed a separate lawsuit seeking nullification of the PIPC actions, with no first hearing date set.
