Coupang workers were detained by police after attempting to enter Coupang headquarters to protest personal data leaks and industrial accident deaths.

According to police, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul arrested four people on the 10th, including Coupang workers and Public Transport Workers' Union activists, on suspicion of obstruction of business by force.

Around 2 p.m. that day, they were detained by police while trying to enter Coupang's headquarters in Songpa District to demand a meeting with Coupang Chair Bom Kim.

The Public Transport Workers' Union said in a statement, "Coupang is not repenting or correcting its wrongdoing, but is suppressing union officials who are urging accountability with violence."
