8 May 2026 KT CorporationKT: 640 million KRW for cancelled Galaxy S25 pre-orders and false notices €370,997
In its own online shop for Galaxy S25 pre-orders, KT Corporation stated that benefits would apply unless the end of the promotion was shown, but then limited them to the first 1,000 orders and unilaterally cancelled 7,127 pre-orders that had come in via a YouTube channel and Genie TV and had already been fully completed. The authority regarded this as false information on key terms and an unjustified refusal to conclude contracts under the Telecommunications Business Act (전기통신사업법), imposed a fine of 640,000,000 KRW and ordered KT to show additional pre-order benefits clearly in future.
Promotion terms such as quotas must be visible before the contract is concluded – cancelling completed orders afterwards is no solution.
