The brief meeting with Biden that reportedly touched on security, Japan, and many other topics lasted for 48 seconds? Maybe they had a separate brief meeting or Korean news is really distorting facts.
Prez Yoon's office and leading conservative politicians, the deputy prime minister and foreign minister claim that he did not use a cuss word to refer to the US Congress and that the comments were directed at the Korean opposition party. The news all reported and showed footage of these people denying that Yoon called US Congress a bad name.
So, I searched for the video on Youtube and listened. I can distinctly hear, loosely translated, as below;
"If those sons of b****s (or any derogatory slang of your choosing) in congress (can also mean parliament) don't pass the bill, it will be so embarrassing for Biden."
Yoon's cussing in Korean is towards the end of the video linked below after his 48 second alleged 'meeting' with Biden.

There is irrefutable evidence that Yoon did use a cuss word to describe US Congress, yet all these Korean government officials are blatantly lying and denying that he did, and Korean media is misleading the public by repeating these false denials as headline news.
They must think that the average Korean is brainless and believes whatever lies the conservatives come up with.
Luckily, there is are videos on Youtube and Twitter! Wonder if those government officials are hard of hearing?
The sound of the video on Twitter is clearer. Yoon hot-mic incident in NY.
