SEOUL, Jan 23 (Reuters) - South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok has said that his country was not discriminating against e-commerce company Coupang after it has faced criticism over a major data leak, the Korea Economic Daily reported on Friday.
Kim is currently visiting the United States and his office did not immediately provide a comment.
Coupang reported in November that personal data for some 33 million customers in South Korea were compromised, triggering a backlash from lawmakers and the public.
