Attending the emergency inquiry will be Han Ki-jung, Chairman of the Korea Fair Trade Commission; Lee Bok-hyun, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service; Yoon Soo-hyun, President of the Korea Consumer Agency; and Kim So-young, Vice Chairman of the Financial Services Commission, who are expected to report on the damage status and recovery measures related to the incident.


The Political Affairs Committee is also pushing for the attendance of Koo Young-bae, owner of the Qoo10 Group, the parent company of TMON and WEMAKEPRICE, as well as Ryu Kwang-jin, CEO of TMON, and Ryu Hwa-hyun, CEO of WEMAKEPRICE.



However, since the emergency inquiry was scheduled urgently and attendance cannot be compelled, it is known that the likelihood of their appearance at the inquiry is low.
