South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung criticized the US visa system after over 300 South Korean workers were detained at a Georgia Hyundai factory. The workers, since released, were primarily involved in factory setup. President Lee warned that future US investments from South Korean companies are jeopardized unless the US improves its visa processes for skilled workers. Both countries are now discussing potential solutions, including a new visa category, to address this issue and prevent similar incidents.
