The Blue House said today (28th) that South Korea's ballistic missile range is limited to 800 km by the US-ROK missile guidelines. "If security is necessary, we can consult with the US at any time to lift the restrictions." .

The second security chief of the Blue House National Security Agency, Kim Hyun-jong, said today that the Korea-US missile guidelines have been revised in a briefing to lift the restrictions on the use of solid fuel for space vehicles.

"The 800-mile range limit is maintained once. This time, it was decided that the restrictions on the use of solid fuel for space launchers were more urgent," said Kim.

Still, he said, "The problem of solving the 800㎞ range limit will eventually be solved'in due time.'"

"We can see why the 800㎞ range is enough for now," said Kim, referring to the new ballistic missile'Hyeonmu-4', which is estimated to have a range of 800㎞ and a warhead weight of 2t.

When asked whether the revision of this guideline would be in line with the Defense Contribution Negotiation (SMA), he said, "There is no word to be said about the SMA yet." "I don't give any kind of opposition benefits," he emphasized.

When asked about the solution of the Korea-Japan Jisomia (Korea-Japan Military Information Protection Agreement, GSOMIA) issue, Deputy Director Kim said, "It is an issue that we are continuously reviewing and the government will decide well."
