Abstract: 
Applying the current regulatory framework for abuse of superior bargaining position to abusive conduct (gapjil in Korean) by digital platforms presents two key challenges: identifying harmed parties (victims) and incorporating efficiency considerations. Requiring the identification of each harmed party imposes significant procedural burdens in handling platform abuse cases and may be inadequate to remedy actual harm. In addition, given the intermediary nature of platform services, unfair trading practices may yield direct benefits for other user groups besides victims. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the relevant systems to reduce the burden of identifying victims and to examine possibilities for efficiency gains.
