The head of South Korea’s Red Cross resigned after he was accused of making racist remarks about foreign dignitaries, prompting the country’s president to order an investigation.
Kim Chul Soo told officials after a 2023 gala dinner in Seoul that “only the non-significant foreign ambassadors were there … just the dark-skinned people...”, according to local broadcaster JTBC-TV who aired an audio recording of the remarks last week.
