Are you saying that they are telling you to let go of your tour schedule? Are you saying that the foreign affairs and security line in the presidential office, which is being asked to resign due to subservient diplomacy with Japan, is fighting a power struggle?”

An official from the presidential office ruled out the takeover of the embassy in the U.S. by stating to Yonhap News that “Chief Cho is scheduled to go to work tomorrow and start working.”
At the White House, the collaborative performance went through prior rehearsal and a complicated production process, and in the absence of the White House performance confirmation by American female singer Lady Gaga, the claim of “collaborating with a Korean female group” seems to be for domestic use.
The foreign affairs and national security investigation confirms who the 'US side' is in the 'telegraphs sent more than 5 times' by the embassy in the US to the president's office and the details that the president 'resolved', so Ambassador Cho is the subject of the investigation.
