Earlier, former Prosecutor General Yoon raised a question on his Facebook post that day, asking, "I ask the Moon Jae-in administration. While restoring the severed communication line, was there any behind-the-scenes negotiation with North Korea without informing the public?"

Meanwhile, regarding the statement by Kim Yong-chol, head of the United Front Department of the North Korean Workers' Party, the Blue House responded that it was similar to the statement by Kim Yo-jong, deputy department head of the Workers' Party. The Blue House conveyed the meaning that both North and South Korea should make mutual efforts for peace, stability on the Korean Peninsula, and the development of inter-Korean relations.
