Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

Kamashin Co., Ltd. is suspected of violating the Anti-Monopoly Act, Article 19, which pertains to abuse of a superior bargaining position. The violations occurred between March 1, 2022, and December 7, 2025. The conduct involved: (1) requiring suppliers to sell initial store-opening or renovation products at significantly discounted prices under the guise of 'Open Sponsorship,' thereby providing economic benefits through price reductions without clear calculation basis or sales promotion benefits; (2) arranging for suppliers' employees to perform store display and related tasks during store openings, renovations, shelf replacements, or New Year product sales without prior agreement on dispatch conditions or bearing the usual costs, thus potentially abusing a superior bargaining position.
