South Korea's antitrust regulator fined Coupang approximately $220 million for abusing its dominant position in the food delivery market. UA.NEWS reported that the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) found the company forced sellers to match terms offered on rival platforms and penalized vendors who did not comply.
The regulator stated that these practices restricted competition and hindered the operations of competing food delivery applications by narrowing sellers' ability to independently set prices. CPNG closed at $16.29 on November 6, 2026, as the company faces intensifying regulatory scrutiny following this significant penalty.
