U.S.-listed e-commerce giant Coupang swung to a net loss in the first quarter amid fallout from a massive customer data breach in South Korea. The company posted a $266 million deficit for January-March, compared with a $114 million profit a year earlier. Founder and Chairman Bom Kim said one-time vouchers and temporary inefficiencies from weaker demand were key factors.
In the latest escalation of tensions over South Korea's probe into Coupang's massive data breach, more than 80 ruling bloc lawmakers plan to send a joint letter protesting the US government's defense of the e-commerce giant, arguing it infringes on judicial sovereignty. The letter responds to recent US complaints, including demands for the safety of Coupang's chairman and a letter from over 50 Republican lawmakers.
