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 on Oct. 31. Jin, who chairs a parliamentary committee, wrote on social media that the visa was issued, following an earlier denial that he expressed regret over. The reversal comes amid broader concerns: Yonhap reports the U.S. State Department stressed an 'America first' visa policy after Jin's refusal claim, and the Korea Times notes the visa setbacks for two DP lawmakers have raised alliance concerns, with Foreign Minister Cho Hyun saying he would ask Washington to expedite lawmakers' visas amid 'undesirable' delays. A former U.S. diplomat called the disruptions 'very unusual,' suggesting stricter interpretations of U.S. immigration rules may be behind them.
