According to Bloomberg and the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo on the 17th, US Defense Secretary Hagibis has postponed his planned trip to Seoul, which was originally scheduled to take place as early as this month. Bloomberg reported that the reason is that South Korea continues to face political uncertainty after Yoon Seok yeol suddenly issued emergency martial law on December 3 last year. Previously, the US Department of Energy confirmed on the 14th that South Korea had been listed as a "sensitive country" by the US government in January this year, marking the first time South Korea has been listed as a "sensitive country" by the US government. Bloomberg reported that the postponement of Hegesi's visit to South Korea is another setback for South Korea.
Bloomberg reported that South Korean Defense Ministry spokesperson Jeon Hae gyu stated at a regular press conference on the 17th that the two countries have been discussing Hegesi's trip to South Korea, "but due to the US schedule, delaying the visit is inevitable
According to reports, the delay of Hegesi's trip to Seoul gives the impression that the Trump administration may not be willing to engage with South Korea at a time when there is a continued lack of leadership. Analysts say, "If the other party doesn't recognize you, any diplomatic efforts are meaningless." "South Korea will inevitably suffer some degree of diplomatic setbacks
According to the Chosun Ilbo, although the Pentagon has cancelled Hegesi's trip to Seoul, he still plans to visit US military bases and allies in the Indo Pacific region. Hegesi will visit Guam, Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines as planned.
On December 3, 2024, Yoon Seok yeol made an emergency statement at the Presidential Palace in Seoul, issuing an emergency martial law order, stating that this was to eradicate the "northern forces" and maintain the "free constitutional order". On December 14th, Yoon Seok yeol was impeached by the National Assembly. On January 15th of this year, Yoon Seok yeol was arrested on suspicion of causing internal unrest, becoming the first president in South Korean history to be arrested during his term in office. During her detention, Yoon Seok yeol attended the impeachment proceedings of the Constitutional Court multiple times and also attended the trial proceedings of the Seoul Central District Court regarding the initiation of civil unrest. At around 5:47 pm local time on the 8th, South Korean President Yoon Seok yeol, who had been suspended, ended his 52 day detention and was released from Seoul Detention Center. He returned to the Presidential Palace in Hannan dong in a police vehicle.
In addition, according to the South Korean newspaper "National Daily" on the 16th, the United States did not give advance notice or notify the South Korean side when listing South Korea as a "sensitive country". On the 11th of this month, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Dae yeol stated at a meeting of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee that the South Korean side only began investigating the matter through "informal channels" of intelligence. Due to the US not disclosing specific reasons, various speculations continue to emerge. At the beginning of January 2025, the time when South Korea was included in the list, it coincided with political turmoil within the country regarding martial law and presidential impeachment. Therefore, some argue that the United States may make this decision based on reasons such as "regional instability".
