South Korean Leader Shuns Olympics Over Comment

“South Korean President Moon Jae-in will not visit Tokyo for the upcoming Olympics, scrapping plans for what would have been his first summit with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga,” Reuters reports,

“The announcement came after Seoul lodged a protest over a news report on Friday that a senior diplomat at Japan’s embassy in Seoul had said Moon was ‘masturbating’ when describing his efforts to improve relations between the two countries.”
