If the meaning didn’t come across properly, questions would arise that could cause problems for both Korea and America. ______Until around the end of 2018, I found it stressful every time.

So, I had to respond tactfully without being provocative or causing misunderstanding, and I had to do that in English. Truly … there were a few really hairy moments.”
