South Korea's foreign minister traveled to the U.S. to secure the release of over 300 South Korean workers detained in a Georgia immigration raid. The raid, targeting a Hyundai plant, sparked outrage in South Korea, with officials calling it a 'serious matter' and questioning the U.S.'s commitment to its alliance. While the U.S. agreed to release the workers, the incident highlighted concerns over visa restrictions and potential negative impacts on future investments. South Korea plans to leverage this situation to push for visa expansion for its skilled workers.
