Amid criticism that the presidential report on the ‘murder case of a fisheries targeting public official’ was delayed, Casa Azul explained: “It was a time of hard work for a decisive decision.”

However, some pointed out that such information was reported to President Moon Jae-in face to face at 8:30 the next day (23).
“However, the situation where only pieces of ‘intellect’ existed”
In response, Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok emphasized in a briefing written on the afternoon of the 28th, “The ‘President’s Hour’ should not be too early and not too late.
Spokesman Kang said: “In particular, if a security situation arises that could become a turning point to put the Korean peninsula back into confrontation or not, the first point of concern for the President of the Republic of Korea is “crisis management.” Therefore, President Moon Jae-in received a report, expressed his official position, and presided over related meetings. It was the time of crisis management on the Korean peninsula. ”
He continued: “As if it was happening right under the noses of our military, as if we were looking through a telescope and making critical reports, it basically happened in the waters of North Korea, tens of kilometers from our seas, where we could not see. and get in. “He said.
Spokesman Kang said: “What could be confirmed with the eyes of our military was that there was nothing in North Korean waters other than that the surveillance team observed a flame,” a spokesman said. “It was not possible to hear the voices of the scene as if they were speaking on the phone. It is a situation in which there was only the ‘intellect’ of the company.
“It was necessary to check whether it was reliable over and over again.”

Spokesman Kang Min-seok said: “When the North Korean army meets the spy that the North Korean army destroyed the body by burning it with fire, confirmation comes first.” He explained the government’s efforts in inferring the facts with the intelligence of the pieces that were selected in that way, and trying to confirm their veracity.
Spokesman Kang said: “Because the facts that the two Koreas have understood are different so far, the Korean government proposed a joint investigation yesterday and is conducting a separate factual investigation, making it difficult for journalists understand how difficult it is to establish the facts. ” I believe that, ”he added.
He continued: “The evening meeting ended at 2:30 a.m. and the president was officially informed six hours later without being confirmed as fact, and the president reaffirmed the accuracy of the intelligence or information and the credibility of the estimate based on it. If he was tried, he revealed himself to the public and instructed North Korea to seek the necessary procedures. “
Spokesman Kang emphasized, “According to the president, ‘the issue was so critical,'” and said, “It was necessary to confirm ‘whether it is reliable over and over again, whether it can be judged true.’
Regarding the reason, he explained, “Only when sufficient facts are confirmed, it is possible to make it known in a transparent way to the public, receive an apology from the North and promise to prevent it from being repeated.”
