South Korea's fair trade watchdog rejected corrective measures from major food delivery apps, citing insufficient remedies for alleged market abuse against restaurants and consumers.

• South Korea's Fair Trade Commission rejected corrective measures proposed by Woowa Brothers and Coupang over market dominance allegations.
• The FTC found that the companies required restaurants to provide 'most-favored' treatment and excluded non-compliant restaurants from benefits.
• The proposed measures included lowering commission fees and financial support, but the FTC deemed them insufficient to address the alleged violations.
