South Korean workers detained in Hyundai plant raid to be freed and flown home

They were LG Chem workers to set up the battery manufacturing plant at the Hyundai facility - the paperwork was not filed correctly - LG probably did this a few times already as practice - the workers are in a compound situation and don't interact with the locals.

Somebody snitched no doubt.

Do you have any information about this happening in the past, or the "compound situation" etc?

Seems like the sort of thing our administration really wants to discourage, right? Definitely should deport those folks trying to... move manufacturing to America.

There's a Georgian TikTok user that is claimed snitching them. Heard also that she's running for office.

It is normal practice for workers brought in to start up a new production line.

Chinese workers come in and they barely speak English, and they are kept together at a hotel or at a rental home (compound) with a translator/minder and a local guide to make sure they don't wonder off on their own and get into sticky situations (kidnapped or law enforcement or unsanctioned visits to bars or the local girls).

> the paperwork was not filed correctly

Is that an euphemism for "the paperwork was not filed AT ALL ON PURPOSE"?
