Lee Mo's older brother, a dead public official, made a phone call with regards to his brother two days before his disappearance.
On the last call, the two had a conversation that wasn't much different than usual, and they didn't even notice the signs of their brother's North Korea, he said.
[Lee Rae-jin/Deathed public official's brother: I would have been worried about debt or personal affairs, but it wasn't that terrible situation.

brother asked why the military couldn't find it even though it would have been 38km from the point of his brother's disappearance to the point where he was killed.

[Lee Rae-jin/Dead brother of a civil servant: (The military) is a group that protects the country and the people, but it just neglects the disappearance of the lives of the people.]
Although it was not enough for Chairman Kim Jong-un's apology, he evaluated that it was meaningful and said he wanted to get back even the body of his brother.
[Lee Rae-jin/Death civil servant's brother: If there are any remains, please return to the arms of the family in the south waiting anxiously...

Mr. Lee's family is planning to visit the National Assembly tomorrow (26th) to request a joint search between the two Koreas to find Lee's body and to find out the truth.
