[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol criticized North Korea's decision to cut off inter-Korean communication lines on the 11th, saying, "The reality of inter-Korean relations, which was unilaterally driven by the Moon Jae-in administration toward North Korea, is clearly revealed."

On the same day, Yoon stated on his Facebook, "North Korea's arrogant actions threatening peace on the Korean Peninsula are crossing the line."

He urged, "While restoring the severed (inter-Korean communication) lines, was there any behind-the-scenes agreement with North Korea without informing the public? I hope the government explains the situation as it is to the people, including why North Korea is engaging in such unreasonable hostile acts as if presenting a bill for the restoration of communication lines."

He also expressed concern, saying, "I worry that North Korea is trying to strengthen its position by pushing through reckless provocations to overcome serious internal political situations."

Furthermore, Yoon emphasized, "Dialogue with North Korea is necessary and welcome, but it should aim for substantive peace and mutually beneficial exchange and cooperation. Now is the time to prioritize the safety of the people, prepare for possible provocations from North Korea, and firmly maintain the ROK-US alliance."
