" “Disclosing the details is likely to take some steam off (the review),” a government official told Reuters."

"South Korea, along with China, avoided the currency-manipulator label in twice-yearly U.S. Treasury report, but was kept on a currency “monitoring list”."

"The finance ministry said the ongoing discussions with the U.S. about currency policies are separate from KOREA-U.S. FTA talks."
