Hussein Amir Abdullahian explained: “During his talks with South Korean officials last week, he said: I told the South Korean Foreign Minister that our children who watch Korean film series at home ask us: Are the kind Koreans in these series the same people who do not give our money? For example, I told their foreign minister that our broadcasting station might even say that we would no longer broadcast Korean series because Korea is not fulfilling its obligations.”
