Kangwon Land Co., Ltd. confirmed the fine in June 2023, officially paying 2.58 billion won, a 20% reduction, to inform the Financial Intelligence Institute of its decision not to dispute the findings. In this regard, combined with the information provided at the previous National Assembly hearing, Kangwon Land “faced with 181 violations related to customer due diligence.”Noting that, Kangwon Land is believed to have failed to verify information about the customer’s identity regarding winning jackpots or selling casino chips.
