KRTwo South Korean citizens were kidnapped by a gang in Haiti in late July but have now been released safely. They were working for a South Korean company and were in Haiti on business. One was released on August 18, and the second on September 1. Both are reported to be in good health. In response to the kidnapping, South Korea's Foreign Ministry established an emergency task force and coordinated with Haitian authorities and foreign embassies to ensure their safe return. Haiti remains under a travel ban by South Korea due to ongoing security issues, though exceptions exist for those with special permissions, which these individuals had obtained for their business activities. The ministry has advised other South Koreans in Haiti to avoid unnecessary travel and move to safer locations.
