The Personal Information Protection Commission said it reviewed 222 measures across 93 respondents, including corrective orders, recommendations and publication orders, and confirmed implementation for 211. The follow-up covered areas such as security safeguards, supervision of data handlers, resident-registration-number processing, data-breach responses and super-app privacy practices. The regulator said it will continue checking seven pending respondents, including SK Telecom measures still under monitoring, while expanding follow-up reviews to improve actual privacy-protection standards.Statement is attached (in Korean)....
