Presidential Office Holds Emergency Meeting Over Data Leak

The presidential office convened an emergency meeting on November 3, chaired by Chief of Staff Lim Kwang-hyun, to address the reported leak of personal information linked to President Lee Jae Myung's overseas trip delegation, including the president, first lady Kim Hea Kyung, and aides. Senior Press Secretary Kang Yu-jung said Lim stressed the leak is "a serious matter that cannot be taken lightly" and ordered a thorough investigation into the circumstances, scope, and actual damage. The leak was first reported by a local broadcaster on November 2, with the presidential office saying it had already taken measures. Korean media outlets, including Yonhap and the Korea Times, are covering the incident as a major political story, while Dong-a Ilbo quoted the office's commitment to "clearly determine responsibility."
