South Korean Apple tracking suit is 27,000 plaintiffs strong

That whole iPhone location tracking kerfuffle hasn’t been making that many headlines here inside the States today, but things a piece different over in South Korea. Back in July, Kim Hyung-suk was awarded a million won ($932) from Apple Korea. Fresh from the win, the lawyer naturally started working on a brand new suit. The suit now counts among its ranks 26,691 plaintiffs — plus 921 minors who still need parental permission to enroll in in — all seeking an analogous 1000000 won payout, for a complete of around $26 million in damages. Apple, for its part, has yet to touch upon the suit.
