Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung is facing criticism after saying migrant workers “don’t contribute much to the national economy” because they send earnings home, according to the Korea Times. The remarks, made at a Cabinet meeting, drew backlash, and Lee has since focused on clarifying his position, though the Korea Times notes his comments “fall short of embracing Korea's growing diversity.” The Hankyoreh also reports Lee is under fire for saying foreign workers “don’t do much” for Korea’s economy. Korean reactions are not detailed in the supplied documents, but the criticism from major outlets highlights concerns about the remarks' impact on Korea's diversity.
