Rogers arrived at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Jongno, central Seoul, at around 2 p.m. and said, "Coupang has fully cooperated and will continue to fully cooperate with all investigations."
But he declined to comment further, despite a barrage of questions by reporters.
Rogers is accused of obstructing official duties by allegedly destroying evidence during an internal investigation into the data leak, which is estimated to have affected over 3,000 users and exposed their sensitive personal information. He has also faced allegations of covering up several industrial accidents.
His appearance comes after he failed to appear for two previous summonses, as he had left the country early this month and only returned last week.
Police are expected to question him about why the company conducted an internal probe instead of involving official authorities, and how it contacted a former employee who is suspected as a suspect. They are also expected to investigate whether there were any attempts to destroy evidence.
