SEOUL: The National Assembly is set to make a decision on Wednesday that would file a complaint against the interim chief of Coupang's Korean unit over alleged perjury amid a parliamentary hearing into the online retailer's massive data leak that affected nearly two-thirds of South Korea's population.
The move comes a day after Harold Rogers, interim CEO of Coupang Corp., the online retailer's Korean unit, claimed that the company conducted an internal probe into the massive data leak at the direction of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and that the spy agency instructed the company to get in touch with the person who leaked user information, Yonhap news agency reported.
The NIS denied giving such instructions, saying it has asked the Assembly to seek a complaint against Rogers for alleged perjury.
