[Asia Economy Reporter Nah Han-ah] As North Korea warned not to cross into its waters, stating that it is considering search and body recovery methods related to the assault incident on our public official, attention is focused on the responses of the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party.

The Democratic Party of Korea is showing a cautious attitude, saying it will accurately grasp the situation. Since Representative Lee Nak-yeon mentioned the 'need for a joint inter-Korean investigation,' the party has not issued any special messages.

On the other hand, the People Power Party began a relay one-person protest on the 27th in front of the Blue House, urging a 'truth investigation into the North Korean killing of the missing public official in the West Sea.'

To thoroughly uncover the truth, the People Power Party requested to hold an emergency current affairs inquiry tomorrow and started a one-person protest from 9 a.m. in front of the Blue House fountain in Hyoja-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

Five members, including Floor Leader Joo Ho-young, Deputy Floor Leader Kim Seong-won, and lawmakers Kwak Sang-do, Jeon Ju-hye, and Bae Hyun-jin, are participating. This is the first outdoor struggle of the 21st National Assembly.

Earlier, the ruling and opposition parties planned to hold a one-point plenary session of the National Assembly to pass a 'resolution condemning North Korea,' but the Democratic Party reversed its position following North Korea's traditional letter, making the adoption of the condemnation resolution uncertain.
