Coupang founder and chairman Bom Kim issued his first public apology on Sunday for a massive data breach that exposed the personal information of more than 33.7 million customers.
Coupang CEO Park Dae-jun stepped down from his position after promising to take all responsibility for the company leaking 33.7 million customer data. The U.S. headquarters will step in to make amends.
Coupang denied that reports of its user accounts being sold online on Chinese shopping platforms are tied in any way to the company’s recently disclosed data breach, saying the two issues are unrelated.
Coupang CEO Park Dae-jun said on Tuesday that he will “take full responsibility and do everything possible to resolve the issue” after the personal information of 33.7 million customers was leaked in a recent hack.
Coupang will shift to a single CEO system under Park Dae-jun, ending its previous co-CEO structure with Kang Han-seung, the company announced on Monday.
