He said, "I earnestly ask members of the press to refrain from paparazzi-like actions such as lurking near her home with cameras or tracking the family by vehicle as in the past," adding, "Absolute stability is necessary."


He also expressed gratitude to supporters. Cho Kuk said, "We deeply thank the citizens who have sent warm comfort and encouragement so far. We also extend our gratitude to religious figures who have given strength through fervent prayers."
