[Asia Economy Reporter Son Seon-hee] Regarding a Japanese broadcaster mistakenly using a photo of First Lady Kim Jung-sook, wife of President Moon Jae-in, as that of the late North Korean leader Kim Il-sung's wife, the Blue House stated on the 4th, "The broadcaster has expressed its intention to apologize and issue a correction through official documents."

Kim Ae-kyung, the Blue House Overseas Press Secretary, conveyed this via text message to reporters on the same day, adding, "The specific manner of the apology and the details of the correction are currently under discussion."

According to Secretary Kim, the Japanese BS TV Tokyo current affairs program 'Nikkei Plus 10 Saturday' made the error in its broadcast on the 2nd by using a photo of the First Lady, claiming it was the wife of Chairman Kim. Kim Jung-sook, who was both the wife of Chairman Kim and the mother of National Defense Commission Chairman Kim Jong-il, is known to share the same name as the First Lady.
