Trump's UFC Animation Sparks Outrage in Korean Media
Korean outlets report that President Donald Trump shared a roughly one-minute animation on his Truth Social platform on November 8, depicting UFC fighters, led by Dana White, beating journalists in the White House briefing room. The video, which portrays White as the new White House press secretary, has drawn criticism for its violent imagery. Kyunghyang Shinmun, Maeil Business Newspaper, and Dong-A Ilbo all covered the controversy, with Yonhap noting the fighters are shown subduing reporters. The Korea Times reports that Trump later said he was "only kidding" about naming White as press secretary, though the animation itself remains a topic of debate. Korean media frame this as part of broader White House personnel turmoil, with Kyunghyang Shinmun highlighting Trump's public courtship of White amid difficulties finding a successor.
