The Born Korea announced plans to suspend operations of franchise stores involved in a controversy over excessive settlement demands made to a part-time worker at Paik’s Coffee.

The company said it conducted on-site inspections and urged store owners to restore damages. Some owners have reportedly withdrawn legal complaints and returned settlement money.

The dispute arose after a part-time employee was accused of taking beverages during employment and faced criminal charges along with demands for disproportionately large compensation.

The company stated it is proceeding with disciplinary actions based on franchise agreements and may consider further measures depending on labor authority investigations.

It also plans to introduce stronger worker protection systems, including labor consultation support and improved training for franchise owners to prevent similar incidents.
