View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Won Yu-cheol, leader of the Future Korea Party, criticized on the 4th that "our government and military are too busy covering for the North Korean army" in relation to North Korea firing shots at our military GP (Guard Post) within the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Gangwon Province.
At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Leader Won said, "Even if we concede a hundred times, does that mean it is acceptable for our military personnel to be sacrificed if North Korea's armed provocation was an accidental provocation?"
Leader Won pointed out, "Even if there are casualties among our military personnel due to North Korea's military provocation, if it was an accidental provocation, will our government and military say 'It is my fault'? An incomprehensible situation has occurred," and added, "We cannot help but strongly criticize the excessively submissive attitude toward North Korea."
Leader Won stated, "The Kim Jong-un regime in North Korea must immediately apologize for the armed provocation and promise to prevent recurrence," and "Our government and military must also respond firmly to ensure that North Korea's armed provocations, whether accidental or intentional, do not recur."
