The mother of a late worker at a Coupang logistics center appeared before police Tuesday as a witness amid allegations the e-commerce giant attempted to cover up an industrial accident.
The worker, Jang Deok-jun, died of acute myocardial infarction in 2020 after returning home from an overnight shift in 2020, with his death presumed to be linked to overwork.
"Our family cannot contain our rage as to why a young man in his 20s was driven to such an unjust death," Jang's mother said, calling for the truth behind his death to be fully uncovered.
The National Courier Workers' Union has accused the company of downplaying Jang's death and filed a complaint with the police against Coupang founder Kim Bom-suk last month, claiming that Kim instigated destruction of evidence to cover up the incident.

It’s disgusting how that traitor bum suck is hiding behind the US while he overworked a mother’s son to death AND covered up the incident while using Harold as a fall guy
Worker health and well-being is virtually obsolete in Korea. Only want results. Mr Bum is a reflection.
They really need to improve the labor conditions here
