Coupang turns away antitrust inspectors in unprecedented move as FTC chief threatens criminal referral_我的网站

一 |     近日，有牦牛闯入四川阿坝州黄龙风景区五彩池，引发关注。8月26日，南都N视频记者从黄龙国家级风景名胜区管理局获悉，牦牛进入五彩池系上游禁牧围栏遭人为破坏所致，景区已向派出所报案，案件正在调查中。    Coupang has sued to halt a Fair Trade Commission inspection into whether price-matching coupon costs were shifted to suppliers.                    Coupang trucks are parked near the e-commerce platform's logistics center in Seoul on Dec. 29, 2025. YONHAPCoupang has repelled attempts by inspectors from the antitrust watchdog to launch an on-site inspection over allegations that the e-commerce powerhouse shifted costs to suppliers. In rebuffing the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) officers, the company said that it has not received a legally required notice prior to the inspection. FTC Chairman Ju Biung-ghi said after the failed raid on Wednesday that he will pursue criminal charges.Coupang's refusal to comply with an on-site investigation by the FTC marks the first time since the regulator was established that a company has rejected an inspection outright, in this case on the grounds that "the law was applied improperly."The commission attempted to launch inspections at Coupang on four occasions, from Aug. 19 to Friday and again on Monday, but withdrew each time.Investigators were seeking to determine whether Coupang improperly passed the cost of its "price-matching coupons" on to its suppliers.The coupons are issued automatically when a product sold on the platform is priced higher than on a competing online marketplace, bringing the actual purchase price down to roughly the lowest available. The commission is examining whether the resulting discount costs were shifted onto suppliers.Coupang's argument against the investigation revolves around a notification clause in the law that was not applied. Article 17 of the Framework Act on Administrative Investigations requires an administrative agency, as a general rule, to notify the subject of an on-site inspection in writing at least seven days in advance.                    The Korean headquarters of e-commerce platform Coupang in Songpa District, southern Seoul NEWS1In a statement on Tuesday, Coupang said the notice requirement is "a lawful procedure that guarantees the interests and rights of the party under investigation" and that the company "plans to seek a court ruling on the commission's failure to observe that procedure."However, the same article stipulates that the notice "may be presented to the person subject to investigation simultaneously with the commencement of the administrative investigation or the purposes" when "it is deemed impossible to achieve the purposes of the investigation due to an anticipated destruction of evidence."The commission's position is that the exception applies here because advance notice would have created a risk of evidence destruction. Coupang counters that this investigation does not meet the conditions for the exception.The e-commerce titan argues that the concern is not credible given that it cooperated with other extended on-site inspections at its headquarters by the commission and other government agencies from January, following a massive personal data breach.The outcome now rests with the courts. On Friday, Coupang filed a suit seeking to cancel the commission's decision and disposition authorizing the on-site inspection, along with an injunction to halt the investigation.                    Delivery trucks wait at a Coupang logistics center in Seoul. YONHAP"It is unusual for an on-site inspection by the commission to fall apart because the company under investigation refused it," an industry source told the JoongAng Ilbo. "Depending on the court's decision, the commission's overall practice of conducting on-site inspections without advance notice could be shaken, and other companies under investigation could demand procedural rights the way Coupang has."The ruling liberal Democratic Party sharply criticized Coupang's refusal to comply with the investigation, saying no company can stand above Korean law."Coupang is using claims of discrimination against U.S. companies by the U.S. government and political circles as a shield to evade legitimate domestic regulation and investigation," DP spokesperson Lee Yong-woo said Wednesday in a written statement. "The company's double standard, enjoying enormous profits in the Korean market but invoking its status as a U.S. company only when it is time to take responsibility, is infuriating."。         现场画面。    现场视频显示，有四头黑白相间的牦牛卧在五彩池中。

二 | 画外音称：“牛来，牛来，‘住’在五彩池里的牛来咯。”     8月26日，黄龙国家级风景名胜区管理局发布通报表示，8月25日，网传牦牛闯入黄龙五彩池引发关注，管理局立即组建专班开展处置核查。    据通报，8月25日15时11分，景区巡护人员发现4头牦牛进入五彩池区域，随即温和引导驱离，15时22分牦牛全部离开该区域，无人员受伤，游览秩序正常。经核查，系上游禁牧围栏遭人为破坏所致，已向景区派出所报案，案件正在调查。

三 |     此外，经地质专家现场评估：牦牛扰动造成局部水体短时浑浊，为短期可逆影响，水体藻类预计一周内恢复；钙华本体结构扰动轻微，轻微创面可通过自然沉积数月内完成修复。    管理局表示，此次事件暴露出管护工作存在短板，“我们诚恳向公众致歉。

四 | 下一步将全面排查防护设施，强化巡护值守，完善应急处置预案，严防同类事件重演。”     这并非黄龙景区钙华池首次被闯入。

五 | 南都此前报道，2025年8月，有网友发布视频称一男子跳入钙华池内涉水行走。2025年8月23日，南都记者致电黄龙景区，工作人员表示，游客下池子是为了捡无人机，“他当时没有穿专用工作服，直接跳下去了，旁边的工作人员来不及拦，就叫他快点上来。

六 | ”     工作人员还表示，此事正在后续调查处理中。钙华池不允许游客进入。如果有物品掉入池中，需要联系景区报备，由景区工作人员帮忙打捞。    据介绍，黄龙沟的巨型钙华岩溶景观是当今世界规模最大、保存最完好的喀斯特地貌。钙华沉积速率低，十分脆弱，垃圾、污水会破坏水体pH值，加速钙华溶蚀。
