Loose lips
Looks like this is a bad case of loose lips. A lot of information about this episode, which did happened, was dished out in the biannual safety meetings for expat captains. Now that this is now leaked on Pprune, there will be consequences just a gangnamstyle said.
We really have idiot expats who go for cheap shots at their Korean hosts without thinking through the consequences, unless of course it was the intent of the loose lips.
