South Korean security fails again to protect a U.S. ambassador to South Korea; a disturbing trend.
The most recent security lapse at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, Korea highlights a disturbing trend on the Korean peninsula and US-ROK relations. According to Yahoo News,
“Nearly 20 pro-Pyongyang South Korean students broke into the US ambassador's residence in Seoul Friday, displaying banners demanding Harry Harris leave the country in an embarrassing security breach.”

According to the police, 17 students from the Republic of Korea Progressive Student Union were arrested for illegal trespassing on sovereign US territory, in violation of international law.
The screen captures above are from the comments section in the posted YouTube video. Starting from left to right, the first comment says, “트럼프가 주한미군 철수시키려는 큰그림(?) 해리스 와이프가 일본이라지, (Is this the big picture of Trump’s removal of U.S. Troops(?) Harris’s wife is Japanese).” The second line continues its condemnation of Ambassador Harris stating, “해리스의 일본피, (Harris’s Japanese Blood).” This '“progressive” organization reflects the race-based ideology of North Korea, which has reached fever pitch with the current “progressive” party in South Korea. Ethnic nationalism is reaching dangerous new height on the Korean peninsula. Whatever your political persuasion, we can all agree that this sort of racism should not be tolerated. But it sadly seems to be the driving motivation of South Korean “progressive” politics.
In the image on the right (with candles), the Republic of Korea Progressive Student Union (한국대학생진보연합) also calls for the “Reform of the Prosecution Ministry,” “Dismantling of their rival party,” “resignation of Yoon Seok-yeol (윤석열),”investigation into Hwang Kyo-ahn 황교안”, and "the destruction of the top three news outlets in South Korea: Chosun-Ilbo, JoongAng-Ilbo, and Donga-Ilbo.”

Oh My News, a news outlet with heavy ties to the progressive movement and North Korea also posted numerous hysterical and theatrical photos of the violation of international law. Click here.

Surprisingly this is not the first time South Korean security has failed a U.S. ambassador in Seoul, Korea. Just four years ago, another South Korean security lapse, allowed an assassination attempt on the U.S. ambassador to South Korea, Mark Lippert.
