This concentration of business in one market poses a significant risk for US investors, as Coupang faces mounting regulatory pressure from Korean authorities. The ongoing confrontation between Coupang and regulators has exposed this structural risk, making it a concern for investors who may be vulnerable to potential losses if the situation worsens.
