Ask what Korea is talking about.

Ruling Democratic Party Rep. Jin Sung-joon has been issued a U.S. visa for a trip to the U.S. Pacific Command, days after his application was reportedly rejected, according to the Korea Times, KBS World, and Yonhap on Oct. 31. Jin wrote on social media about the issuance, following his earlier expression of regret over the initial denial on Oct. 29. The delay has sparked debate between rival parties over whether it signals friction in the Korea-U.S. alliance, with the main opposition People Power Party weighing in, as the Korea Times reported on Nov. 1. The U.S. State Department had stressed an 'America first' visa policy amid the refusal claim, per Yonhap on Oct. 29.
