SEOUL: A fake compilation video featuring South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol delivering a speech has spread rapidly on social media, prompting the country’s independent media regulation agency to decide on Friday (Feb 23) to remove the deceptive video from all social media channels.

The 46-second fabricated video shows Yoon saying “I, Yoon Suk-yeol, have been enforcing laws that harass our nation,” as well as “I ruined our country and made its people suffer by clinging on to an ideology that deviates from common sense.”
