Trump asked South Korea to pay huge military expenses, and an American editor of The Korea Herald believed that the expression "Money Machine" was not often used in the United States to refer to other countries. He believed that the word was "rude and had negative connotations." Kim Hyun-Joong, founder of ICX coin and Korean blockchain expert, pointed out that due to Trump's ambiguous wording, translating the word has become quite difficult. Hyun-Joong believes that understanding "ATM" as a tool for obtaining funds does not fully reflect what Trump wants to convey. She prefers to interpret the phrase as a "money-making machine" to emphasize South Korea's role as a stable source of funds.
