Christine Ahn Denied Entry Into South Korea
I guess we will see if the Moon administration will eventually change this Park Geun-hye era policy, but for now North Korea apologist Christine Ahn can no longer enter South Korea:
An American who organized a controversial march of 30 female peace activists spanning the two Koreas in 2015 has been denied entry to South Korea.
Christine Ahn, a South Korean-born American citizen, learned about being “persona non grata” after Asiana Airlines stopped her from boarding a flight at San Francisco Airport on Thursday, according to the New York Times (NYT).
She reportedly planned to transit through South Korea’s Incheon International Airport on her way to China. After being told she was not allowed to, she bought a new ticket to fly directly to Shanghai, it reported.
A justice ministry official was quoted as saying in the report that Ahn had been denied entry because there were sufficient grounds to fear she might “hurt the national interest and public safety.” [Korea Times]

It did not take long for the Moon administration to change the entry ban. Christine Ahn can now enter South Korea again.
Of course. Both Moon and Ahn are buddies with the same goals of promoting North Korea.
