South Korea's National Assembly has passed a bill that forces Apple and Google to allow app developers to use third party payment systems, reports the WSJ. The bill becomes law once signed by President Moon Jae-in, whose party endorsed the legislation.

The law amends South Korea's Telecommunications Business Act to prevent large app-market operators from requiring the use of their in-app purchasing systems. It also bans operators from unreasonably delaying the approval of apps or deleting them from the marketplace—provisions meant to head off retaliation against app makers.

The Korea Communications Commission will be able to fine companies up to 3% of their revenue in the country if they don't comply.
