The WORST day to click on the & #39;publish& #39; button by mistake:

Joongang Ilbo& #39;s prewritten article on Kim Jong Un& #39;s death seems to have been accidentally published at 15:32 KST.

It& #39;s deleted now but... the preview still on Google.

Hope the headline does not get picked up by any international media outlets, that& #39;s gotta be a big chaoshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming">

The accidentally (?) published article goes...

Headline - "Prewrite/A [Kim Jong Un dead] Korean economy & #39;zero visibility,& #39; situation made worse added to COVID... must increase intensity in the response to crisis"

The accidental article& #39;s lead - "Korean econ, already shaken due to COVID19, faced a mega crisis... Kim Jong Un& #39;s death"

And then it goes on to how the "fact" about Kim& #39;s death became known after the financial market closed at 1530 KST and that the econ impact remains unknownhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat">

I mean, it IS reasonable to prepare in advance for emergency situations and get the pre-writes ready. But just..... these things NEED some solid fail-safe.

Why the tag & #39;prewrite& #39; is not enough?

This article already went viral via SNS.

Some are posting theories that there may have been an embargo indeed. And this may again be included in the next round of rumor-text-messages. And some media may pick that up. Going round and round.
