Woowa Brothers agrees to waive commissions on small orders
The move is part of a broader plan to offer up to Won300bn in backing to vendors up to 2028.
Woowa Brothers announced the agreement, mediated by the Democratic Party's Euljiro Committee, with the Korea Franchisee Union and the Association of Fair Platform Business Owners.
It is in response to concerns that vendors have been disproportionately affected by high costs for smaller orders, which could result in them bearing more than 40% of the order amount in delivery fees and commissions.
It also includes a waiver of commission for the vendor-funded part of the discount coupons issued by franchise HQ.
Online delivery platform Baedal Minjok (Baemin) is operated by Woowa Brothers.
The delivery platform had excluded discounts funded by restaurants or franchisees from commission calculations, and this new agreement expands these exemptions.
The support will extend to orders between Won10,000 and Won15,000, with certain methods of support to be determined later.
According to Woowa Brothers, the agreement incorporates further measures including creating a specialised centre to handle vendor inquiries, refining the compensation claim system, reducing the complexity of vendor-related administrative tasks, and introducing a direct communication between vendors and delivery personnel to improve vendor convenience.
These initiatives were conceived following dialogues with vendor associations that commenced in late March.
Woowa Brothers' annual support could reach up to Won100bn, totalling up to Won300bn over three years, if these were implemented.
In spite of the additional support, Baemin will uphold its present commission rate structure, which ranges from 2% to 7.8% under the current tiered rate plan based on vendors' Baemin1 Plus revenue.
Woowa Brothers CEO Bum Seok Austin Kim said: 'By supporting small orders amid the rise in single-person households, we hope to provide convenience and benefits to consumers, while helping vendors grow the number of orders and reduce cost burdens.'
In 2023, Baemin decided to cease its operations in Vietnam due to intense competition and economic headwinds.

Zohran Mamdani's Chances of Winning NYC Mayoral Race: New Poll
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Democratic mayoral primary winner and New York state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is the clear frontrunner in a new poll released on Monday in the race to be the city's new mayor. Why It Matters Mamdani's surge to be the face of the Democratic Party in New York City has intensified debate over the future direction of the party as a whole, as his platform sharply contrasts with those of more centrist and establishment-aligned figures. Mamdani has taken a more aggressive approach than many establishment Democrats—who have historically championed incremental reforms and avoided expansive tax policies targeting high-earners. The New York City frontrunner has proposed increasing taxes on residents earning more than $1 million annually, raising corporate tax rates and implementing a citywide rent freeze. These positions are central to his campaign, which he has framed around affordability, housing justice and public investment in services such as free child care and public transportation. As Mamdani awaits critical Democratic backing from party leaders like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, he sat down with business leaders in July, where he said he would discourage the phrase "globalize the intifada," according to The New York Times, citing three people familiar with discussions. New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani can be seen attending a campaign event on August 17, 2025, in Prospect Park in New York City.

Photo byWhat To Know In the poll—taken on August 11—Mamdani secured nearly 42 percent of the vote compared to former Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's 23 percent and current Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams' nearly 9 percent. Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa received almost 17 percent of the vote, while nearly 8 percent were undecided. Independent mayoral candidate Jim Walden secured 1.4 percent of the vote. The poll reached 1,376 registered New York City voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percent. When asked who their backup candidate was, 35 percent of those polled said Adams, 24 percent said Cuomo, 8 percent said Mamdani, 15 percent said Sliwa, and nearly 3 percent said Walden. Mamdani's favorability rating in the poll is 47.2 percent, Adams' is 24.9 percent, Sliwa's is 31.3 percent, Cuomo's is 38.3 percent, and Walden's is 8.5 percent. What People Are Saying Columbia University professor Robert Y. Shapiro to Newsweek via email on Monday: "Based on this poll and other polling data, no single candidate could simply catch up to Mamdani. At least either Sliwa and/or Adams would have to drop out to give Cuomo a chance. If one dropped out, then Cuomo would have to pick up the undecided voters to make it close. Or Cuomo would have to drop out and all his supporters would have to go toward Sliwa or Adams. Shapiro continued: "If his supporters went to Adams especially, Adams would have to pick up the undecideds. So at this point it looks like it is Mamdani's as the leader's race to lose. This has the clear potential at this point to hold into the election period, barring a major scandal or something negative and completely unexpected for Mamdani." Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana on X on Monday: "Zohran Mamdani is a socialist whack job—so why is it so hard for Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries to stand up to him?" Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on X in July: "The oligarchs are united. Within our corrupt campaign finance system, they will spend whatever it takes to defeat @ZohranKMamdani— a candidate who fights for the working class. Let us stand together and elect Zohran as mayor of New York City." What Happens Next The mayoral general election is scheduled for November 4, 2025; multiple polls in August indicated Mamdani led in split fields, but the presence of independent bids from Cuomo and Adams could alter vote dynamics and create opportunities for vote-splitting come election day. Analysts and campaigns are expected to watch polling trends, turnout models for younger and progressive voters, and any public involvement by national figures such as President Donald Trump — all factors that could shift the race in the final months.

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP, a Leading Securities Fraud Law Firm Encourages Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) Investors To Inquire About Securities Fraud Class Action
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP, a leading national shareholder rights law firm, announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Charter Communications, Inc. ('Charter' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: CHTR) common stock between , inclusive (the 'Class Period'). Charter investors have until October 14, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion. What Happened? On July 25, 2025, Charter released its second quarter 2025 financial results, reporting that total internet customers had declined by 117,000, compared to about 100,000 in the second quarter of 2024, when adjusted to remove the prior year's impact of Affordable Connectivity Program ("ACP") related disconnected. The Company's total video customers also decreased by 80,000. On this news, Charter's stock price fell $70.25, or 18.5%, to close at $309.75 per share on July 25, 2025, thereby injuring investors. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the impact of the ACP end was a material event the Company was unable to manage or promptly move beyond; (2) the ACP end was actually having a sustaining impact on Internet customer declines and revenue; (3) neither was the Company executing broader operations in a way that would compensate for, or overcome the impact, of the ACP ending; (4) the Internet customer declines and broader failure of Charter's execution strategy created much greater risks on business plans and earnings growth than reported; (5) accordingly, the Company had no reasonable basis to state the Company was successfully executing operations, managing causes of Internet customer declines, or provide overly optimistic statements about the long term trajectory of the Company and EBITDA growth; and (6) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Charter common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than October 14, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Zohran Mamdani is a political risk Democrats shouldn't take
In a twist of comic irony, New York City — the embodiment of American capitalism — may soon have a democratic socialist mayor in 33 year old Zohran Mamdani. That being said, assuming Mamdani wins November's general election, the joke may be on national Democrats. Put another way, even as a mayoral candidate, by dint of New York City's status and his elevation into a national figure, Mamdani presents severe risks to the Democratic Party on the national stage. And as the party looks to regain even one chamber of Congress next year, there is a very real chance that Mamdani's extreme, socialist policies put the entire party's political fortunes in jeopardy. The first risk is if Mamdani's primary victory portends, or ushers in, a seismic shift for the wider Democratic Party. Coming at a time when Democrats are at a crossroads, Mamdani's win may embolden progressives, sideline moderates and drive the party further to the left. If this is the direction the Democratic Party moves in, they will end up even less politically relevant than they are today. At the same time, Mamdani's views are considerably out of line with what mainstream Democratic views should be — particularly on the economy and public safety. The U.S. is a capitalist nation. Although more can be done to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity and is protected by a social safety net, the U.S. is not a socialist country. And on public safety, Mamdani, a past proponent of 'defund the police,' is pledging to move 'billions of dollars (from the NYPD budget) to a new Department of Community Safety' that emphasizes soft on crime measures, according to New York Post reporting. With Democrats already struggling to overcome perceptions that they can't be trusted to handle the economy or public safety. And given New York City's prominence, Mamdani's policies may quickly become the face of the entire party, a gift to the GOP. The second, and arguably biggest, risk Mamdani poses lies in how he would govern. Mamdani campaigned on endless handouts backed by huge tax increases, replacing police officers with social workers, and Soviet-inspired government-run grocery stores. Whether Mamdani is able to implement any, or all, of these campaign pledges or not, Democrats will find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Either Mamdani is seen as ineffective, and just another Democrat who promised utopia but was unable to actually deliver on his lofty promises. Or, more dangerously, New Yorkers get a firsthand lesson on the dangers of socialism, sparking a considerable backlash against the Democratic Party as a whole. Worse, with New York City being a global center of culture, finance and entertainment, the entire country will witness the damage from Mamdani's policies. When government-run grocery stores show themselves to be a horrendous idea, which the Soviet Union has already shown them to be, Republicans will immediately pounce on this failure to underscore the danger in electing any Democrat. Should crime spike due to a sharp reduction in the number of police officers, Democrats across the country will be branded as soft on crime. Similarly, if excessively high taxes on the city's high-earners cause capital flight, a destruction of the city's tax base and drastically lower the overall quality of life, voters' trust in Democrats to handle the economy will sink, and it's already tremendously low. Finally, there is the issue of how Mamdani will govern the city with the world's largest Jewish population outside of Israel. Due to his history of antisemitic remarks, whether his refusal to condemn 'globalize the intifada' or unwillingness to accept Israel as a Jewish state, vitriol he's never shared for other ethnoreligious states, there are very real concerns that under his leadership, New York City will be even more hostile for Jews. Far from being a local issue, if Mamdani fails to protect New York's Jewish citizens, it will reinforce perceptions that the Democratic Party is rife with antisemitism. To be sure, national Democrats seem to be aware of the risks Mamdani poses. Some moderates, such as Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), have been blunt, saying Mamdani's 'policies do not comport' with Democrats' agenda. Others, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies (D-N.Y.) have taken a softer approach, but still indicate some unease with the socialist who has become the face of the Democratic Party. Speaking to CNBC's 'Squawk Box' on Thursday, Jefferies refused to endorse Mamdani or even say whether he was 'convinced' about Mamdani and the kind of mayor he would be. Asked about Mamdani's policy proposals, Jefferies said, 'Now, he's going to have to demonstrate…that his ideas can actually be put into reality.' Hardly a show of confidence from a party leader. Taken together, the elevation of Mamdani and his extreme views may deepen the animosity and alienation many voters feel when they think about today's Democratic Party. If voters see Mamdani's leadership devastating New York City and come to believe that this is what the Democratic Party has to offer, it stands to reason that Democrats across the country will pay the price, and likely for many election cycles to come. 'The End of Democracy? Russia and China on the Rise and America in Retreat.'
