BEIJING – Kim Jong-un wrote a personal letter to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, apologize for the murder of a Seoul ministerial official, riddled with gunfire by North Korean border guards and then set on fire. “An unexpected and unfortunate case,” Kim says in the message. A strange story that of the inspector of the Ministry of Maritime and Fisheries of the South, who disappeared on September 21 during a routine mission at sea. Her body was found on the 22nd in a drifting shipwreck: burned.

According to the reconstruction of Seoul, maybe the man wanted to defect But he did not convince the northern border guards who interrogated him, executed him with a dozen shots and then doused the body with gasoline and set it on fire, apparently for fear of the coronavirus. The victim’s family denies that they wanted to flee north.

South Korean public opinion is shocked the horrible ending of the official. But this time, to defuse the tension, Kim Jong-un chimed in with a message of apology. IS Korean issues experts are now discussing the marshal’s letter, in the hope that Kim’s words to Moon could lead to the resumption of the frozen dialogue for more than a year.
