A class action lawsuit is being filed against Coupang's U.S. headquarters... “Punitive damages lawsuit”

Law firm SJKP plans to file a complaint in U.S. court... Press conference scheduled for New York on the 8th

While user lawsuits are in full swing in Korea against Coupang, which suffered a large-scale personal information leak of over 30 million cases, a class action lawsuit is being pursued in the United States against Coupang's headquarters in the United States.

The American law firm SJKP, a local subsidiary of the Korean law firm Daeryun, announced on the 7th that it plans to hold a press conference in Manhattan, New York on the 8th (local time) and announce its plans to file a suit for punitive damages against Coupang in a U.S. court.

An official from Daeryun Law Firm said in a phone call with Yonhap News, "We will pursue lawsuits in Korea and the U.S. simultaneously. We have already recruited some plaintiffs in relation to punitive damages to be filed in U.S. courts, and we will recruit more plaintiffs through press conferences."

Previously, Coupang announced on the 29th of last month that information on about 33.7 million customer accounts had been leaked, and that personal information such as names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, and some order information were leaked.

100% of the shares of Coupang's Korean corporation are owned by its parent company, Coupang Inc., which is listed in the U.S., and more than 70% of the voting rights of Coupang's parent company are held by founder Kim Beom-seok, chairman of the board of directors of Coupang Inc.

Chairman Kim was born in Seoul, but moved to the United States as a child with his father, an expatriate worker for a large company, and acquired U.S. citizenship. He graduated from Harvard University and founded Coupang in 2010.
