In 2020 this company was fined about 100 million won (US$80,000) over unfair support to its affiliate. According to the Fair Trade Commission (FTC), Korea's top antitrust regulator, the group's holding company provided 75 billion won worth of fixed bank deposits without a fee to Cosvision to help the affiliate receive a large low-interest loan from the Korea Development Bank (KDB) between 2016 and 2017. Thanks to the loan, Cosvision was able to enhance its cost competitiveness and production capacity and maintain its third-place ranking in the domestic cosmetics original equipment and manufacturing (OEM) market, the regulator said. The FTC found this constitutes an unfair business loan procedure between a conglomerate and its affiliate, and it decided to fine the holding company and Cosvision 48 million won each.
