It’s not because they (possibly )knew that they necessarily wanted it to happen though ?
Just that if they ever knew about something so secret, then they probably didn’t say “no”, and more something like “it’s your responsibility” instead ?
I can’t see something like that being carried out without a green light from the US. So, at the very least they were willing to look away. Yoon is precisely the kind of dictator the US would want to install, he’s rabidly anti China and pro Japan. Biden admin isn’t exactly known for their competence or subtlety. It does seem like they misjudged public backlash here.
