The Korea Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has begun an on-site inspection of Asung Daiso over claims of supplier abuse, focusing on unlawful inventory offloading and unfair economic burdens. The inspection is ongoing and may extend beyond September 11th to collect further data.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Retail founders in South Korea must brace for stricter enforcement on supplier treatment as the FTC targets Asung Daiso's practices. Your contracts and supplier terms may require urgent review to avoid similar scrutiny.
