The Fair Trade Commission said Thursday that it would file a complaint with the prosecution against Baesangmyun Brewery for allegedly bullying some of its subcontractors.
The liquor producer pressured some of its 74 wholesalers to purchase a certain quota of makgeolli, according to the regulator.
The FTC alleged that Baesangmyun Brewery exploited its dominant power as the nation’s second-largest traditional liquor maker with a market share of about 22 percent.
The company was found to have scaled back or cut off the supply of its best-selling liquor brand to some wholesalers resisting the pressure.
The FTC levied regulatory fines of 9 million won ($8,180) on the company. Last May, police said that an owner of the Baesangmyun wholesaler in Incheon committed suicide due to alleged conflicts with the company.
