There was quite a kerfuffle recently when South Korea accused the United States of eavesdropping on them, all while violating their “bad-touch-free” zone of sovereignty. Main opposition party leader Lee Jae-myung was not pleased and shared his thoughts with reporters, saying, “If they really did spy on us, it’s like the United States peeked into our secret diary! We demand an all-American apology to the fine people of South Korea, complete with a letter signed by everyone and a poetically penned ‘I’m sorry.'”

Now, it’s not like South Korea and the U.S. are breaking up over this little snafu. They’re basically besties, and Mr. Yoon’s administration says no cracks in the friendship should be expected. In fact, the government tried to downplay the whole thing faster than you can say “awkward.” According to them, Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III had a chat over some virtual tea and agreed that several documents in question were likely fake, like a bad knockoff designer handbag./n/n Serious news: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/11/world/asia/south-korea-leaked-pentagon-documents.html
