Blue House’s position on the DMZ landmine incident: first confirm the facts, then take necessary action Check the key points quickly, from the North Korean landmine allegations to the follow-up response
The Blue House said it will first confirm the facts surrounding the landmine explosion incident that occurred in the DMZ on the western front, and then take necessary measures.
Seong Kihong, Senior Secretary for Public Relations and Communication at the Blue House, said on the 30th on a YouTube broadcast, “We will first clarify the facts, conduct an investigation first, and then clearly take the necessary measures accordingly.” He emphasized that the Blue House is not being lukewarm about this issue.
Previously, our military and the United Nations Command said that the explosion incident that occurred in the DMZ on the 21st was caused by a landmine laid by the North Korean military south of the Military Demarcation Line. North Korea, meanwhile, is denying this.
Senior Secretary Seong also explained that allegations of political bias raised by some regarding the evaluation of Kim Jiyong, the candidate for the first Commissioner of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, are not true. He also said that regarding Chief of Staff Kang Hoonsik’s expression of resignation and the selection of a successor to the Chief Policy Officer, the President is deliberating, and a position may be announced soon.
