Earlier I shared the story of the K-Pop group which was supposedly detained at US immigration for 15 hours this past Wednesday,after landing from Seoul.
Their management firm claimed the 16-21 year old girls were mistaken for "working women" due to a language barrier, and were then sent back to Korea. Via LA Weekly, and here's what the confusion was over:"The management company said a misunderstanding took place after members of the typically large group of K-pop performers were asked what relationship they had to each other.
The acknowledge of 'sister' didn’t sit will with authorities,the firm stated. Federal officials thought the acknowledge was odd because it was clear the women were not 'blood related,' WM management said.In Korean culture close friends often refer to each other as sister and brother."The post K-Pop Group Lied approximately Problems With US Immigration appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
