<Anchor> The case in which the



Blue House killed a Korean civilian by shooting a gun in North Korea, and yesterday (25th) decided to request further investigation beyond clarification.

This is because there are many things that are different from what North Korea revealed yesterday and what we identified.

It is a policy that North Korea will re-investigate first, and if there is no convincing answer, a joint investigation will also be requested.



First, reporter Jung Kyung-yoon.



<Reporter> On the



evening of the 25th, the Blue House held the National Security Council, or NSC meeting, presided over by the head of the National Security Office, Seo-hoon, to analyze the contents of the notices from North Korea.



This is because the content of the announcement by the North Korean and South Korean governments was different in key matters such as whether the murdered civil servant Lee Mo attempted to escape North Korea, whether the North Korean body was damaged, and the subject who ordered the shooting.



The Blue House decided to request an additional investigation from North Korea, as there is a big difference between the incidents revealed by North Korea and the judgment on our side.



It seems to have taken into account the controversy over the incident itself as well as skeptical public opinion about the authenticity of yesterday's apology.



The Blue House also said it had decided to request a joint investigation with North Korea with a clue “if necessary”.



As North Korea claimed that Mr. Lee's body was not damaged, there is a need for a joint response between the two Koreas to find the body.



However, since the two Koreas have never conducted an investigation into the death case together, and the results are unknown, it seems to have given a reserved clue that'if necessary'.



Nevertheless, it must be said that the Cheong Wa Dae's mention of a joint investigation between the two Koreas is underpinning the intention of continuing contact with North Korea while dealing with this case.
