 * I'll add some references and text. This company has leaked +10M(iirc) S.Korean people's private data (such as Phone no., Social Security Number (of Korea), Home address, etc few years ago. (not sure if independant page exists or not) &mdash; Revi 16:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Updated a bit. Has references now, Keep. &mdash; Revi 13:04, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Good work Revi but someone who knows korean only can verify whether they truly signify something about the company or not. Moreover there is nothing much about the company in the article. It just says about being acquired by ebay and an Information security breach which was turned down by a court. But these things are referenced in korean. Can you source some articles in English if possible? Moreover this is not WP:NEWSRELEASE so this article might need cleanup and major rewrite to comply with wikipedia standards.Lakun.patra (talk) 06:57, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment This is most likely auction.co.kr. It is a major online retailer in South Korea similar to GMarket.  Obviously, the article as written is not acceptable, but this is most definitely a notable company within Korea. Outside of Korea, I don't really know.  Nearly all information will be in Korean only, probably. Shinyang-i (talk) 03:47, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
