South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol was caught by an open microphone reportedly calling US Congress “f***ers” after a photo op with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of a United Nations meeting on September 21, 2022. Biden had just pledged US$6 billion in contributions to the Global Fund, which fights HIV, tuberculosis and malaria worldwide. The funding is still awaiting approval from US Congress, which South Korean media said Yoon referred to when making the controversial comments to an aide. “How could Biden not lose damn face if these f***ers do not pass it in Congress?”, Yoon reportedly said. Yoon’s approval rating has dropped to 28 per cent following his first overseas visit as president. He lashed out at the domestic media on September 26, accusing them of damaging South Korea’s relationship with the US, a key ally.
