Seoul is already responding with possible disruptions to Qatari LNG, and would take necessary measures

Context

The Blue House's indication of a stable LNG supply from non-Middle Eastern sources until year-end alleviates concerns about potential disruptions, particularly from Qatar. Though Qatar has not confirmed any force majeure, Seoul's readiness to respond to supply disruptions signals vigilance in energy security, which could affect LNG pricing and availability across markets.
