Korean Officials Falsely Deny Prez Yoon Slandered US Congress?

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.

[오늘 이 뉴스] "이 XX들이 승인 안 해주면 바이든은 쪽팔려서 어떡하나"

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.

Eat weed. Like people in Asian countries (Himalayas region, Golden Triangle, etc.).

Why hasn't this news been publicized widely? Maybe most news outlets are run by conservatives who do not want to indirectly promote marijuana use?

Korean Prez Calls US Congress F****kers

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's profanity-laced hot mic criticism of U.S. goes viral

Excerpt - "How could Biden not lose damn face if these f****rs do not pass it in Congress?" 

Yoon didn't pay respects to Queen Elizabeth II's coffin lying in state even though he went to the UK to go to the funeral. Yoon did not arrange a warm welcome for U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to South Korea in August.

There was no welcoming delegation for Pelosi when she arrived. No one of similar position to welcome her. And Yoon did not meet her, probably because he is conservative and hates liberals and progressives.

And the media says Yoon is strengthening ties with the US and that the US made new promises to protect Korea.

Korean media also emphasizes Yoon met with Biden and the Japanese Prime Minister and talked about important matters. He met very briefly with Biden and with the Japanese Prime Minister for less than 30 minutes. Making it seem like they had serious discussions.

Media says Yoon is repairing relations with Japan that the previous administration messed up. Japan took unilateral actions against Korean and refused to talk. 

How could Yoon blame that on the previous administration? Average Koreans boycotted Japanese products and Japan trips for over a year because Japan abruptly restricted exports of chemicals needed for production of semiconductors to Korea. Tried to negotiate and talk, but Japan was very arrogant. Korea now produces the chemicals locally. LOL

Yoon seems to assume that most Koreans have forgotten this.

Calling the US congress f***kers. Showing Yoon's true colors! Very uncouth.

Other People Flagging Scams On Craiglist

Other people have started to flag scams on Korean Craiglist posts. LOL

There were a couple persistent scammers and they attracted more scammers. Luckily, more scams result in more people flagging them.

Prez Yoon's Approval Rating Rises To 32%

After over a month of intense media promotion of Yoon with pictures of him holding semiconductor wafers, visiting flooded areas, ordering compensation for flood victims and prevention of floods, and other mundane actions, his approval rating has risen to 32%. 

Trying to conduct deals and meet other leaders at a funeral? Very uncouth. Guess who.

I thought Yoon had the lowest ever approval rating for a Korean president after 100 days. I was wrong. It was former conservative president and current convict Lee Myung-bak with 21% (out of prison for health reasons, applied for extension of medical stay)

Yoon is trying to spend government money to help construction of infrastructure for semiconductor plants near Seoul. The government department in charge of planning and budget refused to allocate any funds stating that Samsung and SK Hynix had already planned the project and stepping in now to provide funding assistance would be inappropriate and would only serve to help Samsung and SK Hynix's spend less money on their projects. 

Yoon is stated to have lost his temper and ordered his staff to get the funding. Very autocratic, yes? Seems like something Kim Jon-un would do.

“반도체, 중요한 분야” 尹 수차례 강조…국비 1000억원 요청 ‘No’ 한 기재부 예산실, Yes로 바뀔까  (Yoon stresses semiconductors are important. Will Planning and Budget change decision to yes)

The article tries to make it look as if the future of the semiconductor industry is dependent on government funding of $ 2bn over 5 years. Samsung and SK Hynix can afford to pay many tens of billions of dollars.

There's a whole ecosystem for semiconductors. Korea, US also, needs to promote the entire ecosystem. Specialized solvents, wafers, process and production equipment, parts, Korea learned that when Japan restricted exports for specialized solvents used in chip manufacturing. Took a couple of years to develop local production. The other smaller companies and workers involved need help, not so much Samsung and SK Hynix, in my opinion. TSMC, Intel, ARM and others do well without government assistance.

Would the US federal government give $ 2bn to help build infrastructure for an Apple or Tesla plant after the companies had already planned it? Before, maybe as an incentive to get something. 

Yoon says Korea's survival depends on chip industry (no concrete plans, just chips are important and I will make plans to promote the industry - 20 September 2022). Tried to push government to pay for infrastructure but still making plans?

Prosecutors Repeatedly Investigating Past False Allegations Against Opposition Leader?

And news media keep spouting conspiracy theories and tenuous connections to alleged crimes by people not even remotely connected to Lee Jae-myung.

This has been going on for the past three years or so. 

Blatantly political character assassination by Prez Yoon and his former prosecutor colleagues. And news media says it isn't so. 

Crimes committed by corporations and conservatives go unpunished or are granted pardons. 

Only prosecute allegations against opposition. Sounds like Russia.

Actually, Lee is the one who said why are the developers getting all this profit and got them to pay for parks and other community infrastructure. Conservatives hate him.
