Korean media claims that a large investment resulted in the humiliation of being put in iron chains.

Recently, U.S. immigration enforcement officers conducted a surprise raid on a battery factory under construction by a South Korean company in the U.S., arresting about 300 South Korean citizens on charges of illegal stay. The office of the South Korean president's secretary announced yesterday that they have completed negotiations with the U.S. on the release of the approximately 300 South Korean citizens detained in Georgia. After the relevant administrative procedures are completed, a charter plane will be sent to the U.S. to bring back the South Korean personnel, and will maintain a high level of vigilance until their safe return. The battery factory in question is being jointly built by Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution, and LG Energy Solution has informed its internal employees to suspend all non-essential business trips to the U.S. This incident has sparked widespread discussions in South Korean society, as media reports show public dissatisfaction. The "Korean Economy" reported on the event with the headline "A large investment by companies results in a humiliating iron chain." "Edaily" quoted industry insiders as saying that the U.S. forces foreign companies to invest locally with high tariffs, but then cuts them on visa issues, which is tantamount to betrayal. Some also believe that with the ongoing tariff negotiations between South Korea and the U.S., this move may be a warning pressure from the U.S., and the negotiation situation is expected to become more complex.
