  • South Korea's Fair Trade Commission sent investigators to the headquarters of Asung Daiso over alleged violations involving suppliers.
  • Investigators are examining whether Daiso returned goods without legitimate reasons, shifted inventory risks to suppliers, demanded economic benefits, or unfairly charged suppliers for promotional events.
  • The latest probe supplements an earlier investigation conducted about 140 days ago, and Asung Daiso reportedly cooperated without major objection.

The Fair Trade Commission has returned to Daiso's headquarters for another on-site investigation, about 140 days after its previous probe on April 20. The regulator is examining allegations that the household-goods retailer violated the Large Retail Business Act.
