Koo Young-bae, CEO of Qoo10, Likely to Attend National Assembly Session for Current Issue Inquiry Tomorrow
Voluntary Attendance Request... No Compulsory Force
Possible Changes Until Meeting on the 30th
Ku Young-bae, founder of Qoo10 Group, who has been embroiled in responsibility controversies over delayed settlements and refunds at TMON and WEMAKEPRICE, is expected to appear at the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee inquiry on the 30th.
A representative from the office of Kang Min-guk, the ruling party secretary of the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee, told Asia Economy on the 29th, "Representative Ku, TMON CEO Ryu Kwang-jin, and WEMAKEPRICE CEO Ryu Hwa-hyun have expressed their intention to attend the National Assembly," adding, "Since attendance is voluntary, there is no compulsion, so we need to keep monitoring until the meeting tomorrow." The content of the questions will also be decided depending on their attendance.
If he attends, it will be the first time Representative Ku appears in an official capacity since the settlement delay controversy erupted. Although affected customers have occupied the building since the 24th, Representative Ku has yet to make an appearance.
