Homeplus Says Only June Back-Pay Remains, at 33.2 Billion Won

Homeplus says it has now cleared all overdue wages owed to its workforce through the end of May, leaving only the June payroll outstanding — a remaining balance the company puts at 33.2 billion won.

Where the Payments Stand

According to the retailer’s own account, every wage payment due up to and including May has been settled in full. The company frames the May milestone as the near-completion of a back-pay effort, with the June portion described as the sole remaining tranche rather than an open-ended shortfall.

That June balance is stated at 33.2 billion won. It is the single figure Homeplus has attached to the outstanding amount, and it defines the scale of what still has to be paid before the arrears are fully resolved.

Why the June Balance Matters

Isolating the unpaid amount to a single month narrows the question facing workers and observers: this is no longer a broad dispute over months of missed wages but a defined sum tied to one pay cycle. How quickly Homeplus moves to settle the 33.2 billion won will be the practical test of whether the company follows through on the completion it has described.

Until that final tranche is paid, the arrears remain technically open. The company’s statement sets a clear benchmark — the June payroll — against which its next steps can be measured.
