Now SOUTH KOREA wants British free trade deal as UK ministers struggle to cope with demand.

The decision to begin the landmark process was made during a meeting of ministers on Friday, chaired by Finance Minister Yoo Il-ho.

Yoo Il-ho warned there may be a "prolonged effect" from Brexit but told ministers negotiations and trade talks with the UK should not be dragged out.
