El ministro de Ciencia Bae Kyung-hoon dijo el miércoles que la investigación del gobierno a la unidad surcoreana de Coupang se está llevando a cabo bajo principios legales sin discriminación, refutando las críticas de círculos políticos de EE.UU.

La pesquisa sigue a una masiva brecha de datos en Coupang que afectó a más de 33,6 millones de cuentas.
