The phrase 'National Assembly blockade' appears in Nosangwon's notebook... Refers to collection targets including politicians and journalists
Omul Balloon, Memo Suggesting North Attack Provocation in NLL
It has been confirmed that the term "shoot to kill" was also written in the notebook of former Commander of the Republic of Korea Army Intelligence Command, No Sang-won, who is suspected of being involved in the planning of the '12·3 Emergency Martial Law'.
On the 23rd, Woo Jong-su, head of the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters, responded at the National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee plenary session to questions from Yoon Gun-young, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, asking, "Was there the expression 'shoot to kill' in (former Commander No's) notebook regarding politicians, journalists, religious figures, etc. as targets for collection?" and "Does this correspond to the facts?" by saying, "It corresponds to the facts."
Regarding whether there was also an expression about "trash balloons" in the notebook, Director Woo said, "I remember there was."
The police special investigation team announced that a memo stating "Induce North's attack at the Northern Limit Line (NLL)" was found in the notebook secured from former Commander No's residence that day.
Earlier, opposition parties including the Democratic Party had filed complaints against former Minister of National Defense Kim Yong-hyun and President Yoon Seok-yeol based on reports that Kim had ordered a pinpoint strike on the location where North Korea was releasing trash balloons and the deployment of South Korean drones over Pyongyang.
The police also stated that the notebook of former Commander No contained the phrase "blockade of the National Assembly," and referred to politicians, journalists, religious figures, labor unions, judges, and public officials as "collection targets," with some individuals such as judges being named explicitly.
