SEOUL, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo saw its profit drop sharply in South Korea this year due to the boycott campaign against Japanese products, which started this summer.
In its audit report for the latest fiscal year from September 2018 through August 2019, FRL Korea, which operates Uniqlo in Korea, noted its sales edged up 0.3 percent to $1.19 billion, while its operating profit plunged 14.9 percent to $203 million year-on-year.
