[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] On the 5th, following North Korea's ballistic missile test launch, the Presidential Office immediately convened the NSC (National Security Council) Standing Committee chaired by the Director of the National Security Office.

The Presidential Office announced through a press release that "the NSC, chaired by the Director of the National Security Office, will be held soon," and added, "If deemed necessary afterward, the President plans to hold a full NSC meeting personally chaired by him."

It is reported that the National Security Office, after North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles into the East Sea in the morning, reported the situation to President Yoon Seok-yeol and received instructions to convene the NSC Standing Committee. Although President Yoon was scheduled to participate in a garbage picking volunteer activity along the Han River with his wife Kim Keon-hee in observance of 'World Environment Day' on this holiday, he went straight to the Yongsan Presidential Office building.
