Japan's No. 2 diplomat in South Korea has been ordered home by the Foreign Ministry for offending his host country with a disparaging remark about South Korean President Moon Jae In, a Japanese government source said Sunday.
Hirohisa Soma has been serving as the deputy chief of mission at the Japanese Embassy in Seoul since July 2019.
In mid-July, South Korean broadcaster JTBC reported that Soma had told one of its reporters that Moon's diplomatic efforts regarding frayed bilateral relations amounted to "masturbating."
South Korea's Foreign Ministry then lodged a protest and asked that the Japanese government take "visible" steps to prevent a similar incident from happening.
