It’s the last 16 days. Japan’s Asahi Shimbun reported that ‘the Yoon Seok-yeol regime and the ruling party unofficially requested the Japanese side to release contaminated water from Fukushima before the general election in April next year’. First of all, our government refuted that there was no such request, but let’s go to the briefing and meet reporter Lee Jeong-ju, who asked the question.
[기자]
nice to meet you. This is Lee Jeong-ju.
[앵커]
Reporter Lee, between yesterday and today, there is a lot of talk about the Asahi Shimbun’s report. Didn’t this reporter personally go and ask a question yesterday?
[기자]
Yes, the report by the Asihi Shimbun came out at 5 am on the 16th, and I went to the daily briefing yesterday, so on the 17th, and asked the question myself. I asked Park Gu-yeon, 1st Vice Minister of State Affairs, ‘Please answer whether the Korean government was aware of this article and whether this article is true or not, or whether it is an unknown area.’
The answer was: Deputy Director Park said, ‘I’ve seen the article, but to put it in a word, it doesn’t seem like the government is yet at the level of an article to comment on it. (Omitted) If you judge only from the government’s point of view, it is an issue that you have never thought about or thought about, so you can think of it like this.’
[앵커]
The subject is a bit ambiguous, but is that all?
[기자]
So, I asked the question again to accurately grasp the subject. In the original article of the Asahi Shimbun, the subject is ‘within the government and the ruling party’, and this has been conveyed unofficially. So, I asked if I don’t know if the ruling party did it or not.
Regarding this, Deputy Director Park said, ‘I didn’t bother to mention the political part. I simplified the subject and said ‘the government’ at the end.
Park Gu-yeon, first deputy head of the Office for Government Policy Coordination (center), attended a daily briefing on the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant held at the Seoul Government Complex in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 18th. ‘, saying, “There is no fact requested by the government,” and urges refrain from reporting. yunhap news

Something is a bit ambiguous. When it comes to government, do you oversee three major things: the Office of the President, the power of the people, and the administration? ?
[기자]
In today’s daily briefing, Deputy Director Park said, “The Korean government has never requested early release from Japan, and we earnestly ask you to refrain from reporting or claiming such content after today’s briefing.” I will ask at the next briefing how far the category of government is talking there, whether it includes the presidential office and the ruling party or not, or how far the category is.
If the ‘government’ mentioned by Deputy Director Park is the government that encompasses the presidential office and the ruling party, then the article in the Asahi Shimbun literally falls under ‘fake news’. Then, of course, the Korean government should define the article in the Asahi Shimbun as ‘fake news’. In addition, we believe that we must, and will, respond appropriately, such as requesting correction information.
[앵커]
Yes, there is also a Korea-US-Japan summit tonight. Reporter, see you next time. I will listen to it here today.
