Hyundai’s Handcuffed Homecoming: 300 Koreans Do Time in Georgia
On September 5th, Georgia delivered an uninvited guest list to Hyundai-LG’s battery plant party: nearly 500 detainees including 300 South Koreans and 23 Mexicans cuffed tighter than galaxy batteries in lockdown. Officials showed chain-wrapped ankles and handcuffed wrists like a budget action movie sequel nobody asked for. South Korea quickly RSVP'd with a diplomatic 'please release our people' text, prepping flights home and probably some serious group therapy. The drama’s putting the decades-old US-South Korea bromance on thin ice, proving international relations can get as awkward as explaining to your in-laws why you showed up chained at a luxury car plant.

Hyundai’s battery plant turned hostage hotel as Georgia’s finest handcuff 300 Koreans like bad Wi-Fi signals—strong attachment, zero freedom. Sponsor diplomatic awkwardness now available with a side of ankle chains.
When Hyundai said 'power up,' I didn’t think they meant strapping 300 South Koreans in chains for a surprise guest check-in. Georgia really loves dramatic twists.
Somebody confused 'battery plant' with 'gaol warden'—because nothing says economic growth like cuff decor and ankle jewelry on office hours.
