As North Korea's Chosun Central News Agency says the first vice-president of the Labor Party, Kim Yeo-jung, has rejected the South's proposal to dispatch a special envoy to South Korea, attention is also focused on how the message was delivered.

Chosun Central Communications said on the 17th, "The South Korean President Moon Jae-in'President' wants to send special envoys to our Prime Minister Dongji (Kim Jung-eun), and the special envoy is the head of the National Security Office for Justice and the Chief Information Officer Seo Hoon. "I have been begging you to respect this desired date."

North Korea's request for a special envoy is 15th, the 20th anniversary of the June 15 inter-Korean summit.

The envoy's plan appears to have collapsed against North Korea, but it was confirmed that the South had sent a message to the North asking for an envoy to discuss the date and the North had received it.

After North Korea announced that it would cut off all communication lines between the two Koreas since the 9th, all the communication channels between the two Koreas, such as the Gaeseong Inter-Korean Joint Office, the East-West Hae-gun military communication line and the ship's hotline, and the Panmunjeom channel, all worked.

This is because North Korea consistently responded'no response' to attempts by the South to make sure the channel is operating normally.

North Korea's notification to block these channels, including the hotline between the Blue House and the Central Central Headquarters, was realized.

In this regard, it is likely that this contact regarding the envoy's dispatch has gone through a hotline between the National Intelligence Service and the North Korean Labor Party's Unification Front.

The NIS-Ministry of Information and Communication hotline was not mentioned in the communication line that North Korea declared at the time to block and abolish.

It is noteworthy that this channel, which has been in charge of last-minute communication between major and inter-Korean phases in the past, can also serve as a'last bastion' in this phase of tensions on the Korean Peninsula again.

The National Intelligence Service-Ministry of Trade and Energy hotline was connected between the two Koreas since the inter-Korean summit in 2000, which was the time of the Kim Dae-jung government.

However, the Lee Myung-bak administration was cut off by the North Korean policy, which weighed on sanctions and pressure, and the situation continued in the Park Geun-hye administration.

Then, in 2018, North Korea was restored with the dispatch of the first deputy head of the Labor Party, Kim Yeo-jung, as a high-level delegation to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

At the time, the North reportedly consulted closely with the South on the list of high-level delegations and visits to South Korea through this hotline.

Also, in March of this year, the analysis revealed that the hotline would have been utilized when Chairman Kim Jong-un sent a letter to President Moon Jae-in, who wished to overcome Corona19, and sent a letter of appreciation to President Kim.

However, it has not been officially confirmed whether the NIS-Ministry of Information and Communication hotline is alive.
