South Korea is worried that the recent arrest of hundreds of its citizens in Georgia, USA, could make people less likely to invest in the country in the future. Workers from Hyundai Motor and LG Electronics were arrested, and the South Korean government said that this could make South Korean companies less likely to invest in the U.S.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung told a news gathering in Seoul that the arrests have caused a lot of trouble and could make South Korean investors less likely to invest in projects in the U.S. He made it clear that if this problem isn't fixed properly, it could hurt the friendship between the two countries.
It's important to note that the South Korean government has already sent a train to Atlanta to bring back the workers who were arrested. Because of this event, which made people worry about how foreign workers are treated in the U.S., South Korea is stepping up its diplomacy efforts to quickly solve the problem.
This warning makes it clear how important it is to treat foreign workers fairly and what could happen to business ties between the two countries. If the problem isn't fixed, it could affect South Korean investments in the U.S. and make South Korean businesses less likely to make big purchases.
