Coupang创始人金奉硕缺席国会就公司大规模数据泄露举行的听证会,引发争议。临时CEO Harold Rogers致歉,但金奉硕及前任CEO缺席留下关键问题未解。委员会正考虑对金奉硕提起投诉。

国会策略与财政委员会于2025年12月17日在首尔举行听证会,焦点为Coupang大规模个人数据泄露事件。这家电商巨头上月底披露,3370万客户的资料——包括姓名、电话号码、电子邮件地址和配送详情——遭泄露。这影响韩国人口约三分之二,以及Coupang 3400万月活跃用户中的大多数。

创始人金奉硕(又称Bom Kim,Coupang董事会主席)未出席,称因身为全球性公司CEO的公务,该公司业务遍及170多个国家。过去十年,他曾六次被传唤出席国会审计或听证会,但从未现身。2021年,在《严重事故处罚法》实施前,他辞去Coupang韩国董事会主席及注册董事职务。前任CEO朴大俊和姜汉昇也以辞职为由缺席听证会。

临时CEO Harold Rogers(前首席行政官)出席并致歉:「我们为给韩国人民带来的担忧深表抱歉。」他补充道:「我们非常重视此事,正努力回应各位问题、监管机构的关切以及客户的担忧。」Coupang逾90%的收入来自韩国。

委员会决定就金奉硕破坏国会权威一事提起投诉,此前他缺席10月14日及28日的审计。执政民主党议员计划分别对金奉硕及前任CEO提起投诉。此事件凸显跨国平台在主要市场的数据保护责任及问责问题。

人们在说什么

X平台上的反应主要批评Coupang创始人金奉硕缺席大规模数据泄露国会听证会,认为这是傲慢及对韩国议员和消费者的不敬。政客和新闻机构报道委员会决定对其提起投诉并展开特别调查,突显公众愤怒中对问责的要求。

Coupang founder issues first in-person apology over data breach amid record sales

U.S.-listed e-commerce giant Coupang Inc. reported record annual sales for 2025 despite a massive data breach that hurt fourth-quarter results. Founder and Chairman Bom Kim issued his first in-person apology to customers during Friday's earnings call. This follows a written apology in late December.

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.
