North Korea has entered into a process to demolish the southern facility on Mt. On the date that the South and the North agreed to each other, they told us to come to Mount Kumgang and take the facilities. The government said it would come up with a creative solution, which seems to be reviewing individual tourism.

I am a reliable North Korean journalist.

North Korea sent a letter to the Unification Ministry and Hyundai Group through the Kaesong liaison office today.

He said he will build a new international tourist zone on Mt. Kumgang, and on the agreed date he will enter Mt. Kumgang and remove the facilities installed by the authorities and private companies.

He added that the business issues should be agreed by exchanging documents instead of meeting.

The delegation of the Kumgang Mountain facility has been virtually decided and the only date for the demolition has been agreed.

The government stressed the protection of our people's property rights and said that consultation between the two Koreas is necessary.

[Lee Sang-min / Unification Ministry spokesman: Anyway, agreement is required. There needs to be an agreement and a meeting between the two Koreas.]

He mentioned creative solutions.

[Kim Yeon-cheol / Minister of Unification: We will prepare a creative solution to reflect the changed environment.]

It did not reveal what the creative solution was, but the clue came out.

[Lee Sang-min / Unification Ministry spokesman: Individual tourism can be reviewed in a way that tourism itself is not subject to UN Security Council sanctions and does not conflict with other provisions of the Security Council resolution.]

The Ministry of Unification explains that individual tours are possible if the North and South Korean authorities agree on personal security and the government approves the visit.

The government is expected to review the details and send a notice to North Korea that offers face-to-face contact.

But there are not one or two mountains to overcome, such as whether North Korea accepts these measures or builds public consensus.
