Kim Min-seok "We must protect the national interest baseline for the offensive... Insulting the military only benefits North Korea."

“We respond more strongly to hacking incidents in the financial sector, focusing on protecting personal information and providing damage relief.”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Nam-kwon and Jeong Yeon-sol = Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 12th to the People Power Party, which is launching an offensive using North Korea's landmine explosion in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) as a link, "I hope that you will keep the national interest baseline for political offensives."

Representative Kim urged this at the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on this day, saying, “There are no ruling or opposition parties in foreign affairs and security.”

He explained, "(Lee Jae-myung's government) launched an operation to remove North Korean mines buried south of the Military Demarcation Line for the first time in the history of the DMZ, officially urged North Korea to apologize for violating the armistice agreement, and demanded a clear correction for the Ukrainian government's violation of the agreement and public disclosure of the repatriation of North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea."

He continued, “Wouldn’t it only benefit North Korea if it lowered the morale of the military carrying out dangerous operations within the DMZ by insulting them?” and pointed out, “Criticism of the government is also based on national interests, public safety, and national self-respect.”

Taking aim at Rep. Na Kyung-won of the People Power Party, he asked, "Who would say it's normal for a citizen with pride and reason to criticize the government's measures to protect the personal safety of prisoners and their families and send a letter of gratitude to Ukraine for breaking the agreement between the countries?"

Meanwhile, CEO Kim said, “We will respond more strongly” to the recent series of hacking incidents in the financial sector.

He emphasized that the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee adopted the five major bank presidents as witnesses for the audit of government affairs in relation to the hacking incident, saying, "We will check whether sufficient efforts have been made to invest in security and secure human resources, have early detection of abnormal signs and prevent the spread of damage, and properly protect victims. We will focus on protecting the people's personal information and providing damage relief while exploring alternatives such as measures to prevent recurrence of security incidents and strengthening victim relief procedures."
