Unlike our experts, who when put on the spot by breaking news, will talk nonsense for ten minutes before they'd acknowledge they are confused, the BBC reporter in Seoul admits not only does he have no clue what is happening, the people he's talked to on the street hadn't heard about it.

"I'm afraid I don't have a great deal of clarification at the moment."

He sounds quite alarmed, especially for the BBC.
