[The Korea Economic] Up to KRW 11 Trillion… The 'War of Money' in Government Bond Cartel Litigation

On June 21, 2026, the Korea Economic Daily reported that "as a large-scale fair trade investigation unit is expected to be established within the newly created investigation agency against serious crimes, major law firms are simultaneously expanding their competition law team organizations," introducing Lee & Ko's Antitrust and Competition Group as one such example. The Korea Economic noted that "Lee & Ko has reinforced its 'former official lineup' by recruiting Attorney Giusung Oh this month — a former judge who also served as a Non-Standing Commissioner of the KFTC — following the recruitment of Attorney Min-Ho Lee, a former KFTC official, earlier this year."
