The issue of the return of former North Korean ambassador Jo Sung-gil to the National Assembly was controversial one after another in the National Assembly audit.

While the opposition party raised suspicions of the government’s intentional leak, Minister Lee In-young denied the allegations and said he was investigating the details of the leak.

On the other hand, North Korea has yet to comment on this incident.

Following national supervision by the Foreign Ministry, the issue of the defection of former North Korean Ambassador Seong-gil came to the fore.

The opposition party raised the possibility of an intentional leak, and the ruling party dismissed it as speculation that only adds to the confusion.

[김기현 / 국회 외교통일위원회 위원 : 여권에 불리한 이슈가 생겼을 때 이게 공개되어 나왔느냐, 결국은 물타기 용이다, 국면전환용이다….] [전해철 / 국회 외교통일위원회 위원 : (국가기관이) 의도를 갖고 (유출)했다는 주장을 여전히 하고 있는 것은 저는 정말 까닭없는 혼란을 만드는 것이라고 생각해서….]

Unification Minister Lee In-young said he did not know in advance that the defection of former Ambassador Cho would be revealed, and said he is investigating how related content was leaked.

In addition, he said that former Ambassador Cho’s wife is demanding that he want to return to North Korea through the media.

[이인영 / 통일부 장관 : 정부가 일방적으로 어떤 판단을 내려서 다시 송환 조치를 취한다거나 등등과 관련해서 단정적으로 말씀드릴 수 있는 상태는 못 되고요. 우리 국민의 공감대 이런 상황을 보면서 판단해야 할 문제가 아닌가 싶습니다.]

On the other hand, former Ambassador Cho, who is at the center of the controversy, has not yet come forward.

While it is known that they are not taking any external action due to concerns about the safety of their daughters and families who remain in North Korea, the government is closely watching the impact of this incident on inter-Korean relations in the future.

Previously, North Korea criticized Tae Young-ho as a criminal, saying, “Tae Young-ho is a criminal” three days after the government revealed the defection at the time of the defection of the British embassy.
