Source excerpt
The Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) said Sunday it had imposed 4.15 billion won ($3.46 million) in fines on seven TV home shopping businesses for unfair practices such as making vendors pay for promotional costs.
The watchdog said the businesses used their superior status to force unfair practices on vendors, such as making them pay for promotions or making employees of vendors work for them, from January 2015 to June of last year.
The seven are GS Shop, Lotte Homeshopping, NS Shopping, CJ OnStyle, Hyundai Home Shopping, Home & Shopping and Gongyoung Shopping.
