Let's take a closer look at this part with North Korean reporter Ahn Jung-sik about how this situation will affect inter-Korean relations in the future.



Q. An incident in 12 years after Prince Park's murder



[Reporter

Ahn Jeong-

sik: Yes.

In July 2008, Prince Park, a tourist from Mount Geumgang, was shot and killed by a North Korean soldier.

It was quite a shock because it was a shooting against an unarmed civilian.

The tour of Mt. Geumgang, which was interrupted at the time, has not yet resumed.

This case, however, will have a much greater impact than the Park case.]



Q. Why is this more shocking than the Park case?



[Reporter Ahn Jung-sik: Lee Park's case was a case where a North Korean military first soldier asked to stop a civilian who had crossed over to the border area, but he did not respond and killed him.

Of course, he shot directly against an unarmed civilian. This in itself is a little nonsense, but anyway, he shot a man who fled during the guard service, and North Korea claimed that it was an accident at the time.



However, in this case, Lee's recruits were secured by the North Korean military.

It was a situation where the North Korean soldiers could have enough arrest or detention if they made up their mind.

However, after securing the recruits for 6 hours, he killed and burned the body.

This can only be seen as an obvious intentional murder.

There have been observations such as whether North Korea is going to a normal state recently, but it was an event that made the observations in the world at a glance.]



Q. What is the prospect of inter-Korean relations?



[Reporter Ahn Jeong-sik: Right.

Inter-Korean relations have not been good until now, but for the time being, it will be difficult to expect.

This incident occurred without the impact of the bombing of the liaison office.

President Moon's declaration of an end to the war in a speech at the UN General Assembly, a quarantine cooperation organization, seems to have become difficult for the time being.

Some of the biggest barometers in the future situation will be the outcome of the US presidential election. Regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election, it will be difficult to restore inter-Korean relations as if nothing had happened unless North Korea apologizes or clarifies this incident.]
