DP lawmaker Jin gets US visa days after rejection

Rep. Jin Sung-joon of the ruling Democratic Party has been issued a U.S. visa for a trip to the U.S. Pacific Command, days after he said his application was rejected, Yonhap and other outlets report. Jin wrote on social media that the visa was issued, following his earlier expression of regret over the initial denial. The reversal comes amid broader concerns about visa delays for South Korean lawmakers, with Foreign Minister Cho Hyun saying he will ask the U.S. to expedite issuance of visas for lawmakers amid 'undesirable' holdups that have raised questions about Seoul-Washington relations.
