I have a question regarding international copyright laws that I'm hoping you can help me with.

I'm an American living in South Korea, and I have another American friend here who has an English blog that was translated and quoted without her permission in a Korean newspaper. The article includes her full name. Not only was the translation inaccurate, but she also never spoke to the person who wrote the article and quoted her. Is this legal in Korea? Thanks for any help you can give me.
