On the 25th, the Blue House reported on the fact that the leaders of the two Koreas recently exchanged friendships. Cheong Wa Dae National Security Bureau Chief Seo Hoon introduced North Korea’s traditional text at the first briefing at 2pm on the same day, saying, exchanged a letter between President Moon Jae-in and President Kim Jong-un “. At the second briefing at 4 pm, the full text of the personal letter was published. It was a letter from President Moon on the 8th and a reply from Kim Jong-un four days later.
The Blue House did not reveal the letter immediately after the letter arrived, but only after the provocation of the North Korean shooting. It was analyzed that the Blue House tried to respond to public opinion aggravated by the controversy over the poor response between the Blue House and the president after the shooting by fully disclosing the letter.
In this regard, it was noted that “how were personal letters exchanged since all communication channels with North Korea were cut off?” So far, the government has explained the reason for the delay in confirming and responding to incidents of shooting by North Korean civilians as “because both North Korea and lines of communication were cut off.” The opposition party criticized “The explanation of the Blue House is not correct.”
President Moon did not mention the shooting of South Korean officials in North Korea in commemoration of Armed Forces Day. The ceremony to mark Armed Forces Day was an opportunity for President Moon to convey a clear message of encouragement to North Korea, the people and the military about the incident. However, President Moon emphasized the role of the military for peace and never said words like ‘North Korea’, ‘provocation’ and ‘condemnation’. Instead, the word ‘peace’ was used 6 times and ‘crown’ was also used 4 times.
President Moon sent a message through a Blue House spokesperson the evening of the previous day, saying: “It is unacceptable for any reason.” However, the next day at the Armed Forces Day event, he was silent about this incident. Three days after the incident occurred, they did not send a loving message related to this incident. President Moon’s silence is interpreted as a message that he will maintain the position of the previous dialogue with North Korea despite North Korean provocations.
