The overwhelming majority of Koreans are pro-America. After the public humiliation of Korean workers who tried to help America, Koreas are furious and don't think America is a true friend. That's a scar that will last for many decades to come.

Koreans feel betrayed. The shocking scene caused trauma among the Korean people—trauma that may require psychological treatment, not just for the detainees but for the broader public. I have never seen anyone chained like that in my entire life.
