South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok will visit the United States this week to meet with senior U.S. officials and lawmakers. This marks his first overseas trip since taking office, with a possible meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance. The discussions are expected to focus on tariff and trade issues.
South Korea's Fair Trade Commission has designated Coupang chairman Kim Bom-suk, known as Bom Kim, as the company's controlling shareholder. The shift from a corporate to an individual designation cites evidence of influence by Kim's brother, Kim Yoo-seok. The move has sparked concerns over potential friction with the United States.
