On the spectrum of Korea-related crises, this doesn’t rank very high. But the spokesperson for South Korea President Park Geun-hye, who just finished up her official visit to the United States, has been fired for a “disgraceful incident,” but details are sketchy on what exactly happened. The Washington Post and others are reporting that police are investigating a groping incident at the W Hotel in Washington. South Korea news outlets report that the victim was an intern working for the South Korean embassy in Washington and the incident occurred Tuesday evening while embassy staff were drinking at the hotel bar.
