According to the Personal Information Commission on the 27th, a total of 100 group dispute mediation applications related to the SKT incident have been received and the procedure is underway. The Personal Information Commission intends to complete the process within the 60-day mediation period stipulated by law, after reviewing the overall handling direction as the mediation applications have been received.
The Personal Information Commission stated, "The related procedures will be conducted through the full meeting of the Dispute Mediation Committee, and the application documents were reviewed, and a correction was requested from the applicant on the 26th."
If the correction is smoothly made, the procedure will officially start as early as mid-June after a resolution at the full meeting of the Dispute Mediation Committee.
