Analysis of Proposed Consent Order to

Aid Public Comment

The Federal Trade Commission (‘‘the

Commission’’) has accepted an

agreement to a proposed consent order

from the Korean Video Stores

Association of Maryland, Chang Hyun

Cho, Bong Soo Ha, Yoo Kwan Jun, Dae

Yong Kang, Yong Hoon Kang, Mi La

Kim, Ki Sik Kim, Suk C. Kim, Ju Young

Lee, Kyeong Hae Lee, Chang Jin Park,

Mi Hwa Park, Young Min Ro, Chae Sul

Song, Tae Eung Yu, and Seung Man Yun

(‘‘Respondents’’).

The proposed consent order has been

placed on the public record for sixty

(60) days for reception of comments by

interested persons. Comments received

during this period will become part of

the public record. After sixty (60) days,

the Commission will again review the

agreement and the comments received

and will decide whether it should

withdraw from the agreement or make

final the agreement’s proposed order.

The Commission’s investigation of

this matter concerns the Respondents’

joint retail video tape rental pricing

activity in 1993. The Commission

alleges in its proposed complaint that:

the Respondents agreed to increase the

retail price of Korean language video

tape rentals in the Metropolitan

Washington, D.C. area; and, in

furtherance of the joint price increase

agreement, the Respondents announced

the price increase to the general public

by displaying at each Respondent’s

place of business a poster setting forth

the joint price increase agreement and

signed in the name of the Korean Video

Stores Association of Maryland (‘‘Video

Association’’). The Commission alleges

that the Respondents’ acts and practices

constitute unfair methods of

competition in violation of Section 5 of

the Federal Trade Commission Act.

The order, accepted for public

comment, prohibits the Respondents

from directly or indirectly entering into

a price fixing agreement in the retail

video tape rental business. The order

also prohibits the Respondents from

taking any other actions that may harm

price competition in the retail video

tape rental business. In addition, the

order requires the individual

Respondents to either discontinue or

leave a meeting of the Respondents if a

person or persons make impermissible

statements concerning retail video tape

rental fees.

The order would also prohibit the

Video Association from interfering with

its individual members’ pricing

decisions and from acting as a forum for

discussion or agreement on retail video

tape rental fees. The order further

requires the Respondents to display a

corrective poster at each Respondent’s

place of business, and requires the

Video Association to publish the Korean

text (translated to Korean by

Commission staff from the English

version approved by the Commission) of

the corrective poster in three major local

Korean language daily newspapers.

Under the order, the Respondents are

required to file written compliance

reports with the Commission. The order

terminates automatically twenty years

from the date of issuance.

The purpose of this analysis is to

facilitate public comment on the

proposed order, and it is not intended

to constitute an official interpretation of

the agreement and proposed order or to

modify in any way their terms.

Secretary.
