At a National Assembly hearing, a lawmaker said to convey that if a parliamentary investigation is convened regarding Bom Kim, chair of Coupang Inc.'s board, he should appear. Hearing this, Harold Rogers, interim head of Coupang Korea, said, "I am not in a position to direct (Chair Kim to appear)."

On the 31st, Rogers said at a National Assembly hearing in response to related questions that it "appears to be an unusual request."

Asked whether he had reported the current situation to the chair, Rogers said, "We reported to the entire board, including the chair, that we cooperated with a state agency to retrieve data and devices and returned them to Koreans."
