On the 25th, the government acted quickly when North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sent a notice saying ‘I am sorry’ for the murder and damage to the body of a public official of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. When the head of the National Intelligence Service, Park Ji-won, received the notice from the North on the morning of that day, he took it and went directly to the Blue House.
A government official said: “As soon as the NIS received a notification from the North Korean Unification Front this morning, President Park took it and entered the Blue House.” “Since there was an event commemorating Armed Forces Day with President Moon Jae-in in attendance at 10 am I know that.” Director Park informed President Moon Jae-in after discussing the direction of handling the notice with Seo Hoon, head of the Blue House National Security Office. President Moon is reported to have ordered the full disclosure of the notice. After that, Seo released the full text of the ad at 2 p.m. In addition, it was announced this month that President Moon and Kim Jong-un exchanged personal letters. When reporters asked about the content of the letter, Seo even published the full text of the letter, saying, “Interest in the exchange of letters between the leaders of the two Koreas has increased.” It is very unusual for the government to reveal the entire content of the notification letter between North Korea and the leaders of the two Koreas. It is analyzed that the government, which could not hide its shame by revealing North Korea’s atrocities the day before, took Kim Jong-un’s notice as an opportunity to reverse the environment.
Suh posted the notice, saying, “As we responded promptly to matters officially requested from the DPRK, it contains an explanation from the North Korean side of the incident, apologies and regrets to the Korean people, and recurrence prevention content. Said. Immediately after this incident, the government demanded the North to investigate the truth, punish the person responsible, apologize, and prevent it from happening again, and the North accepted it to some extent. Mr. Seo did not specifically comment on North Korea’s allegations of our military in the notice.
Director Park Ji-won told a closed-door meeting of the National Assembly Intelligence Committee that “(this assassination) was not ordered by President Kim Jong-un.” He said: “We judge whether we have moved in accordance with the instructions of the local commander and other executives.” This is the effect that President Kim did not know about on this case.
Unification Minister Lee In-young said in an emergency question at the National Assembly’s Transportation and Foreign Affairs Committee on the same day: “I know that the North Korean leader has never announced the North’s position, using the expression quick and sorry twice. ” There was no case of apologizing for quick and detailed comments. “
All senior government officials emphasized peace rather than countermeasures to this incident. Mr. Seo said, “With this incident, we will do our best to create a situation on the Korean peninsula and inter-Korean relations that meets the expectations of the people.” Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said: “Whenever (such) incidents occur, the will, courtesy and patience for dialogue are weakened, but we must maintain a long-term peaceful approach.”
Defense Minister Seo-wook mentioned “peace” four times and said, “We will show you future military forces that make peace” at the Armed Forces Day ceremony. Secretary Seo did not mention the murder of an official.
The government’s attitude is reported to be that the South and North’s explanation of the truth of the incident was in a hurry to give North Korea a “leniency.” The opposition party said: “This is not due to Kim Jong-un’s sincere apology.”
