[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Yoon Gun-young, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who served as the head of the Blue House National Situation Room and was known as President Moon Jae-in’s ‘right-hand man,’ stated on the 1st that “the USB containing the New Economy initiative was handed over on the first floor of the Peace House in Panmunjom, where the summit took place.”


On the morning of the same day, on YTN Radio’s ‘Hwang Bo-seon’s Start of a New Morning,’ Yoon corrected the report that former protocol secretary Cho Han-gi handed over the USB (portable storage device) during the Dobodari (Bridge) meeting, saying, “Former Secretary Cho denied the report by a certain media outlet that it was handed over at Dobodari, saying that is not true.” Ultimately, the time and place when President Moon handed over the USB was not the Dobodari meeting but a ‘third location.’


He emphasized, “I oversaw the practical preparations for the inter-Korean summits three times in 2018. I can say this with certainty and confidence: nuclear power was neither discussed nor mentioned at the summit.”


Regarding the opposition party’s offensive, he retorted, “The novels written by the People Power Party are like science fiction-level imagination,” adding, “It seems they will continue the North Korea scare tactics. Ultimately, I don’t think it will have a significant impact on this election.”



Regarding the deletion of 530 related documents by officials from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, he said, “There are quite a few file names that appear to have been created during the Park Geun-hye administration in 2014,” and added, “It seems that not all deleted documents were created after the Moon Jae-in administration took office.”
