[HIGHLIGHTS] The South Korean government said that "the possibility of wiretapping is very small", and Lee Jae-myung questioned: it is difficult to rule out

South Korea's presidential office has previously said that meetings or calls made at the presidential palace building are highly unlikely to be tapped or wiretapped. Lee Jae-myung, leader of South Korea's largest opposition party, said on the US wiretapping turmoil that if true, it would be a disappointing incident that undermined the ROK-US alliance based on mutual trust.

According to the report, regarding the news of the wiretap, the South Korean presidential office is watching to see whether the report will have a negative impact on President Yoon Seok-yue's visit to the United States.
