[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Lee Rae-jin, the elder brother of public official A who was killed by gunfire from North Korean soldiers, had a meeting with Minister Seo Wook at the Ministry of National Defense building in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Before the meeting with Minister Seo on the 6th, Lee told reporters, "I want to know the time when the incident was reported to Minister Seo, receive information, and inquire about what instructions were given," adding, "I plan to re-request information disclosure." Additionally, Lee stated that he plans to deliver a written inquiry demanding an explanation related to the incident to Minister Seo.

It was reported that officials from related departments attended the meeting along with Minister Seo. Last month on the 6th, Lee requested information disclosure, asking for the release of intercepted North Korean military conversation recordings and videos to confirm the circumstances of his younger brother's death, but the Ministry of National Defense responded on the 3rd that disclosure was not possible.
