As Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications recently requested that Line Yahoo, the operator of the messenger app Line, reexamine its capital relationship, which showed signs of turning into a diplomatic issue between Korea and Japan, it hastily began to resolve the issue.
According to the Mainichi Shimbun, when asked about Korea’s position on the opposition at a press conference held on the 10th, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Takeaki Matsumoto said, “We are speeding up the fundamental review of security governance (security management) of the entire group, including the parent company.” “It was a request, not a request for a review of capital at the point of management,” he explained.
However, no separate explanation was provided as to why a review of capital relations should be prioritized to strengthen security management.
Kyodo News commented that Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Matsumoto’s response “appears to have been taken into consideration to prevent it from developing into a diplomatic issue between Korea and Japan.”
The LINE Yahoo incident came to light when Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications issued administrative guidance to reexamine its capital relationship with Naver in response to the leak of about 520,000 pieces of personal information through the messenger platform ‘LINE’ last year.
Line Yahoo’s largest shareholder is A Holdings, established with a 50% investment each from Naver and Softbank, which holds a 64.5% stake. In addition, Naver has been entrusted with managing systems such as Line Yahoo’s IT infrastructure.
Japan took issue with Naver’s illegal access and conducted administrative guidance twice in March and April.
One executive said in the report submitted by Line Yahoo after receiving its first administrative guidance that “more than two years will have to pass” before the network from Naver is completely separated, and that the lack of specificity in the safety management plan angered the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Asahi Shimbun reported. said to
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is said to have conducted an unusual second administrative guidance, saying, “Aren’t you taking the situation too lightly?”
Accordingly, on the 8th, Line Yahoo announced measures to prevent recurrence by sequentially terminating business entrustment with Naver and hastening the separation of systems.
This is a measure taken in response to Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Matsumoto saying last month, “We will properly check how the management of the consignment office reports how to function properly.”
