SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — South Korea’s Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is briefing the media and taking questions on a series of critical pending diplomatic, economic, and security issues. The press conference comes directly after Minister Cho's high-profile meeting with the newly arrived U.S. Ambassador Michelle Steel, the first female Korean-American envoy to Seoul, ending an 18-month vacancy. Key topics dominating the briefing include rising trade and regulatory friction over the record 624.7 billion won ($408 million) fine imposed on New York-listed e-commerce giant Coupang over a massive data breach, which has sparked discrimination concerns among U.S. lawmakers. Additionally, Minister Cho is addressing the strategic progress of South Korea's newly announced nuclear-powered attack submarine program (the Jang Bogo N Project), domestic uranium enrichment plans, the recent cyberattack on the Korea National Diplomatic Academy, and the upcoming visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Seoul.
