Yeah, people are focusing on in the symbolism of the crown as a gift and ignoring how insane it is to give a priceless historical artifact to an erratic foreign leader. How is that even something a Korean politician can give in the first place?

Edit: It's a replica. Goddamnit Independent. That's sort of an important distinction to note.
