E-commerce giant Coupang said Tuesday it remains committed to seeking a constructive resolution in Korea, where it is under investigation over a massive data leak.
Harold Rogers, interim CEO of the U.S.-listed company, attended a closed-door hearing of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee in Washington on Monday as part of the panel's review of the Korean government's treatment of American companies.
Earlier this month, a joint public-private investigation into the data breach found that more than 33.6 million customer accounts in Korea were affected.
In a statement released Tuesday, Coupang expressed regret over the circumstances in Korea that led to the congressional deposition.
“More broadly, Coupang hopes to serve as a bridge between the United States and Korea, helping improve the bilateral economic relationship, strengthen the security alliance and accelerate trade and investment that benefits both countries,” Robert Porter, the company's chief global affairs officer, said.
Rogers declined to comment when asked by reporters whether he had a message for Korean consumers as he appeared for the hearing.
