South Korea's Supreme Court upheld a 1 billion won ($720,000) fine against GS Retail for unfair trade practices, including improper product returns and forcing suppliers to bear promotional costs without written agreements. This ruling confirms the application of strict regulations on large retailers and is expected to affect trade practices in the Korean retail sector.
