South Korea's Democratic Party regrets US report on Coupang, calls it one-sided

South Korea's Democratic Party has voiced strong regret regarding a recent U.S. House of Representatives report that accused the South Korean government of discriminatory practices against American firms, specifically mentioning Coupang. The party's spokesperson, Jang Yoon-mi, issued a statement on July 4th, calling the report's assertions baseless.

"The report's claims that our government discriminated against and targeted Coupang are nothing more than a transcription of Coupang's unilateral arguments, lacking any objective evidence," Jang stated in a written briefing. She emphasized that the report failed to provide any factual grounds for its accusations, suggesting it was a one-sided presentation of Coupang's perspective.

The Democratic Party's strong reaction highlights a potential diplomatic friction point, as the report implies a negative business environment in South Korea for foreign companies. The party's firm denial and criticism of the report's methodology suggest a significant disagreement with the findings presented by the U.S. congressional body.
