Ensuring Traveler Safety Amid Political Turmoil in South Korea
South Korea’s culture minister, Yu In-chon, has vowed to take measures to guarantee the safety and convenience of travelers visiting the country, amidst ongoing political turmoil following President Yoon Suk Yeol’s botched martial law declaration last week.
Government Commitment to Traveler Safety
During the South Korea-Japan tourism business forum held in Seoul, Minister Yu emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring the well-being of all visitors to the country. "The government will do its utmost for the safety and convenience of all visitors to the country," he stated.
Tourist Destinations Remain Operational
Vice Culture Minister Jang Mi-ran also reassured that South Koreans are continuing their daily lives and that major tourist destinations remain fully operational. This statement aims to alleviate concerns among travelers and tourists planning to visit the country.
Background of Political Turmoil
The remarks came amid lingering concerns surrounding the country’s political situation after the National Assembly failed to impeach Yoon on Saturday, who is under fierce public criticism over the martial law fiasco. Yoon abruptly declared martial law last Tuesday but lifted it hours later after the Assembly voted to call for its end.
