Regarding the Moon Jae-in administration’s so-called ‘suspicious repatriation of North Korean fishermen to North Korea’, the presidential office said on the 17th, “What the opposition parties and those involved in the previous government should do is to respond to the people’s demands to reveal the truth by faithfully cooperating with the investigation, not a political offensive. “He said. In a separate document, he mentioned “the Blue House of the Moon Jae-in government” several times, emphasizing that the responsibility for repatriation to the North rested with the Blue House at the time. The presidential office directly refuted the statement issued by Chung Eui-yong, former head of the National Security Office of the Moon Jae-in administration, raising the level of pressure on the former government. The Ministry of Unification said on the same day, “There is a video of the repatriation to North Korea. We are reviewing whether or not to disclose it.” The conflict between old and old powers over security issues is expected to intensify.
President Choi Young-beom, chief public relations secretary, held a briefing at the presidential office in Yongsan on the followingnoon of the same day and said, “I believe that although we can cover the eyes and ears of the people for a while, we cannot hide the truth forever.”
Chief Choi said at a briefing, refuted one by one. In a statement released this morning, Jeong said, “(The North Korean defectors) are rare and bizarre killers. “I had no intention of defecting to South Korea in the first place,” he said.
“It is a serious matter to define North Korean defectors as bizarre killers without a proper investigation,” Choi said.
Even the assertion that there was no intention of defection by the former chief of staff was “sophistry.” Chief Choi said, “Then why did these people ignore the handwritten letter of intent to defection? The essence of the matter is that the North Korean defector fishermen, who should have been accepted by the Republic of Korea and dealt with according to our law, were sent back to Saji as the North wanted.” He said, “Isn’t the report to the National Assembly (related at the time of the incident) also done reluctantly when the text report of the on-site commander was exposed to the media?” He said. Did you mean that you received the report, and that too by text message?” he said. At the time of the incident, the JSA battalion commander reported the repatriation plan to Kim Yu-geun, then first deputy chief of the security office, via mobile phone text message.
The presidential office directly pointed out and criticized the ‘Moon Jae-in government’s Blue House’ in a separate document that day. The presidential office said, “The Blue House under the Moon Jae-in administration emphasizes the security of signal information (SI), but in fact, it raises suspicions that it was used in accordance with the position of the North Korean authorities.” “The Moon Jae-in government’s Blue House has devalued the central joint intelligence investigation, which begins with a handwritten letter of intent to defect, which clearly states its intention to defect,” he said. It was forcibly shut down early.”
The ruling party and the Ministry of Unification also started supporting shooting, and the party, government, and university are in an all-out war on the alleged repatriation of North Korean fishermen to North Korea.
In an article posted on social networking service (SNS) on the same day, Kwon Seong-dong, acting representative of the People’s Power, said, “(Chief Jeong) was talking regarding the forced repatriation case to North Korean defectors who were forcibly repatriated to North Korea, calling them ‘rare bizarre killers’. “This is a belief in North Korea’s unilateral assertion as it is,” he wrote. Acting Kwon said, “The fact that the forced repatriation to North Korea was carried out five days following capture is a poor verification in itself.”
The Ministry of Unification announced on the same day that it is reviewing a plan to release a video filmed during the forced repatriation of North Korean defectors to North Korea on November 7, 2019. Two years and eight months following the incident, the photos taken at the time were released, followed by a legal review on the release of the video. In a notice on the same day, the Ministry of Unification said, “When I saw that there was a video filmed (at the time of repatriation to North Korea at the request of the National Assembly), it was confirmed that one employee at the site personally filmed the repatriation process with a mobile phone. As the data is not managed, we are reviewing the law on whether to submit it to the National Assembly,” he said.
