Kim Min-jun's elation at news that South Korea would evacuate its citizens ...
SEOUL - Kim Min-jun’s elation at news that South Korea would evacuate its citizens from the epicenter of a virus epidemic in China quickly faded when he learned his Chinese wife would be unable to accompany him.
But Chinese regulations meant Chinese nationals like Kim’s wife of three years could not leave, forcing the family to make a heartbreaking decision to stay together. “While in Korea, we had indeed thought about staying longer because of the virus but we had no idea it would become so serious, and we also have our business,” Kim, who has run a Korean restaurant in Wuhan since 2015, told Reuters from the city.
More than 700 South Koreans flew out of Wuhan on two flights last week, and will spend at least the next two weeks in precautionary isolation at government-run facilities in South Korea.
