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 he said his application was rejected, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. Jin wrote on social media that the visa was issued, following earlier reports that he had voiced regret over the initial refusal. The reversal comes amid broader concerns: the Korea Times reports that recent U.S. visa problems involving two DPK lawmakers have drawn criticism over how Washington treats a key ally, and Foreign Minister Cho Hyun says he will ask the U.S. to expedite visas for lawmakers amid 'undesirable' delays. A former U.S. diplomat called the visa troubles 'very unusual' for Korean lawmakers, while the U.S. State Department stressed an 'America first' visa policy, Yonhap reports.
