Industry ministry warns economic groups over fake news, says it undermines trust across economy
South Korea\'s industry ministry has begun an audit into a Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry press release that contained false statistics, after holding an emergency meeting with six major economic groups. Industry Minister Kim Jeong-gwan apologised as the minister overseeing the chamber and criticised the release for citing estimates from a private immigration consulting firm rather than a professional survey agency. He said the matter could confuse the public and markets and damage trust in the policy environment.
