Instead of the Korean government complaining about the US government deporting workers that committed visa fraud; it looks like they finally found the time to address Koreans being used as slaves in Cambodia:
National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac on Monday stressed the need to swiftly repatriate South Koreans from Cambodia amid a rise in job scams and illegal detentions targeting nationals, the presidential office said.
Wi made the remarks while presiding over the inaugural meeting of a pangovernment task force established to devise countermeasures amid public outcry and safety concerns, especially following the torture and death of a South Korean college student in the Southeast Asian country in August.
“Wi said that the immediate return of citizens in danger must be prioritized on humanitarian grounds, urging the authorities to respond without delay, while legal action against any criminal activities committed by detained individuals is to be expected,” presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung told a press briefing.

It is kind of surprising considering how famous their music is that this group has never performed live before:
Audrey Nuna didn’t realize how far “KPop Demon Hunters” had traveled until she visited Korea. “I went to Korea a few weeks after the film started taking off,” she told Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” that aired Tuesday evening. “I got off at Dongdaemun Station and this cute little grandpa was doing a street performance of ‘Golden’ on this Korean traditional instrument. He was so swagged out. I had to do a double take.”
The 26-year-old Korean American singer, who voices one of the leads in the hit animated film, said the moment stayed with her. (…..)
On Tuesday evening, the singers behind the characters — EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — brought “Golden” to life for the first time on “The Tonight Show.” The performance zoomed close to 4 million views within 12 hours, adding another milestone to the film’s rapid crossover from animation to real-world pop culture.

The foreign ministry said Wednesday it has requested Israel to promptly release a ship carrying a South Korean activist that was seized by the Israeli military while approaching Gaza.
According to local civic groups and foreign news reports, the Israeli military intercepted a nine- or 11-boat flotilla in the Mediterranean Sea early Wednesday (local time) trying to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza and detained scores of activists aboard, and a South Korean national, named Kim Ah-hyun, was one of them.
The 145 activists, who were in good health, were being brought to shore in Israel for processing and are expected to be deported soon, they said, citing the Israeli foreign ministry.
