U.S. lobbying reports show Coupang spent $1.09 million in the first quarter targeting the White House, Vice President, and Congress. This follows a major data leak scandal in South Korea last November. Though headquartered in Seattle and U.S.-incorporated, the company primarily operates in Korea.
E-commerce firm Coupang Inc. denied allegations that it lobbied U.S. government officials to pressure South Korea following a November data leak controversy. The company rejected claims of security-related lobbying as unfounded.
