Chung Dae-yong, head of the National Security Office, visited the Prime Minister's office at Seoul Government Office and reported to the prime minister.
Chung left the prime minister's office for about 30 minutes from 10:46 am today.
It is expected that discussions on whether to extend Chisomia will come because this is the time ahead of the NSC Standing Committee this afternoon to discuss the 'Korea-Japan Military Information Protection Agreement' and whether Chisomia should be extended.
The deadline for deciding whether to extend Jisomia is 24 days.
The Korean government has been examining the possibility of destroying Jisomia in response to Japan's export control measures.
However, given the importance of US-Japan security cooperation, the Blue House is likely to extend Jisomia.
However, even if the agreement is extended, it is known to actively examine how to press Japan by stopping information exchange for the time being and weakening the effectiveness of the agreement.
