SEOUL, South Korea (AP) \u2014 South Korea\u2019s government on Thursday disputed a U.S. congressional report accusing Seoul of discriminating against Coupang, a U.S.-listed electronic commerce giant that was hit with a record 625 billion won ($403 million) fine in June over a massive data breach affecting millions of South Korean customers.<\/p>\n
South Korea Foreign Ministry spokesperson Park Il expressed regret over Wednesday\u2019s report by the House Judiciary Committee, saying it reflected \u201conly Coupang\u2019s unilateral claims\u201d and failed to include Seoul\u2019s position.<\/p>\n
