It was the seaside where the first investigation was carried out when the North Korean ship was found in Samcheok Port six days ago. I immediately reported to the military and Cheong Wa Dae that they had come into the harbor with their own power, and the announcement by the military authorities was quite different two days later. The ship was found floating near Samcheok Port. Defense Minister Chung Kyung-doo apologized to the people yesterday (20th) and said he would take strict measures against such falsehoods and cover-ups.

It is reported by Kim Hye-young.

This is a report on the morning of the 15th, when North Korean ship was discovered at Samcheok Port, by the East Sea Coast Police Station.

It is reported that North Korean fishing boat in Samcheok Port is docked and instructs the police box at 6:50 am to confirm it.

It was confirmed that the North Korean fishing vessel was the result of the dispatch to the police station, and it is reported at 7:42, that they departed from Gyeongseong, North Hamkyung Province on May 5 and entered the Samcheok Port by their own power.

The report includes the 23rd Division of the Army and the National Intelligence Service (NIS), and similar reports from the Maritime Police Agency's Chief of Staff include the Cheong Wa Dae Chief of Staff, the National Crisis Management Center, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff Command & Control Center. .

The military did not immediately correct the media reports of the sea near Samcheok Harbor the next day.

In particular, the North Korean ship entered the port where the military, Gyeonggi triple-junction is operating, and the fact that the seamen walked on the land was lost.

The military explained that the North Korean vessel announcement was coordinated with the presidential office in advance.

It was confirmed that there was also an executive officer belonging to Cheong Wa Dae security office very unusually in the briefing chapter at that time.

I tried to call the administrator to inquire about the role of the Blue House and the administrator in the announcement of the military authorities, but I could not reach them.

Defense Minister Chung Kyung-doo, who apologized to the people yesterday, said he would take strict measures if there were false reports and cover-ups.
