A crude remark by a deputy head of the Japanese embassy in Seoul has left South Korean officials fuming and demanding action from Tokyo. The man likened President Moon’s diplomatic effort to sexual self-gratification.
South Korean Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-kun summoned on Saturday the head of the Japanese diplomatic mission to Seoul, Ambassador Koichi Aiboshi, to formally protest what one of his deputies said to a local television station.
The cable TV broadcaster, JTBC, said on Friday that a senior Japanese diplomat made a comment that was “difficult to put into words” when talking about South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s attempt to organize a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga during the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo.
