Coupang released the following statement:

“We regret the circumstances in Korea that led to today’s Congressional deposition, and we remain committed to seeking a constructive resolution,” said Robert Porter, Coupang’s Chief Global Affairs Officer. “More broadly, Coupang hopes to be able 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.”
