Yesterday, President Yun Seok-yeol invited 20 people, including heroes of the country's defense against North Korean provocations, such as the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island and the sinking of the Cheonan, to the presidential office.

When the family of the survivors of the Yeonpyeong Island bombardment said that they should demand an apology from North Korea for the provocation of shelling, they said, "There is no need to receive an apology."

In addition, it is known that he has expressed his intention to take measures so that, if necessary, 'preemptive measures can be reported' on site.

It is interpreted as a statement emphasizing the stance of hardline response to North Korean provocations.

In response, an official from the presidential office explained that it does not mean that North Korea must unconditionally strike the primal point of provocation, but emphasizes that it is necessary to respond according to the manual on the spot and to 'report a candidate for action in advance'.

He added that it was a level of comfort for the bereaved family rather than a policy or military level.

President Yoon emphasized that it is the normal duty of a normal state to properly respect the hero who defended the country and to treat the bereaved family warmly so that there is no injustice.

As the highest commander-in-chief of the military in charge of our country's defense, I will protect you.] The

presidential office greeted the attendees with courtesy, such as placing a military band and an honor guard at the main gate of the government building.
