[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Blue House stated that the "shutdown of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1" is a presidential campaign promise and expressed that it is unacceptable for this to be subject to judicial judgment.

Kang Min-seok, spokesperson for the Blue House, said in a written briefing on the 10th, "Since matters such as whether the Blue House gave instructions are currently under trial, we will not comment specifically," expressing this position.

This statement came in response to reports from some media outlets claiming that the Blue House had ordered the manipulation of the economic feasibility evaluation for the early shutdown of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1.

However, Spokesperson Kang also stated, "The shutdown of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 was a presidential campaign promise and was selected as a major government policy task that was publicly pursued," adding, "It is unacceptable for this to be subject to judicial judgment."
