Was he seduced by a South Korean female agent? Vietnamese military high-ups quickly left Seoul, behind is a huge conspiracy

Yonhap News Agency confirmed on the 21st that on the evening of September 11, 2025, after the closing banquet of the Seoul Security Dialogue, General Hoang Xuan Trach, Deputy Minister of Vietnam's Ministry of Defense, was suspected of "improper physical contact" with a female civil servant from the South Korean Ministry of Defense.

This incident quickly escalated. Eight days after the incident, the South Korean Ministry of Defense summoned the Vietnamese military attaché in South Korea to formally protest. The general accused of sexual harassment, Hoang Xuan Trach, had already left South Korea on the next day of the incident - September 12, and was unable to be directly investigated.

It is noteworthy that this incident occurred right after General Hoang Xuan Trach and the South Korean Deputy Minister of Defense, Lee Do-hee, attended multiple meetings and memorial activities together. Just two months ago, the defense ministers of the two countries had held talks in Seoul to discuss major defense and military industry cooperation plans. This diplomatic incident took place at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul on the night of September 11.

According to relevant people present, although both sides had some drinking during the event, General Hoang Xuan Trach and the woman were not seated at the same table, but he "seemed to deliberately approach her," and this behavior was considered to be of a sexual harassment nature. In response to this sudden diplomatic incident, the South Korean Ministry of Defense chose to delay handling it for eight days. It is obviously that the two sides did not reach an agreement, and South Korea chose to expose it in an attempt to ruin General Hoang Xuan Trach's career.

Hoang Xuan Trach is responsible for Vietnam's foreign arms procurement. South Korea may have sent a female agent to seduce him, and after the failure, the two sides fell out over unknown specific reasons. According to South Korean media reports, Hoang Xuan Trach is a key person for Vietnam to purchase K9 self-propelled howitzers. In addition to the K9, South Korea also hopes that Vietnam will purchase aircraft and missiles.
