Regarding the joint military exercise between South Korea, the United States and Japan in the East Sea, the presidential office said, “When there is a fire, it is natural for neighbors to join forces to put out the fire. “I am very curious so as to see if terminology or frames can interfere.”

Lee Jae-myung, the deputy spokesman of the presidential office, appeared on CBS radio’s ‘Kim Hyun-jung News Show’ today and said, “North Korea’s nuclear and missile threat is the biggest threat facing Northeast Asia.” He said. .

Then, referring to the fact that Japan has the second largest number of anti-submarine patrol aircraft after the United States, he said, “If there is anything that Japan can help, of course, the president’s job is to be the commander of the military not to create any loopholes through military training,” he explained.

Lee Jae-myung, the deputy spokesman of the Democratic Party of Korea, raised the level of insult stating that there was “an extreme pro-Japanese defense, an act of recognizing the Japan Self-Defense Force as an army” over a ROK-US-Japan military exercise, and said, “It the Japanese army may enter the Korean Peninsula and the Rising Sun flag may be raised on the Korean Peninsula. “Do you believe there is?” and dismissed, “The people are already judging.”

Given the growing possibility of Japan revising the peace constitution, some pointed out that the exercise did not go through the consensus of the people, and asked, “Is there any problem with the national consensus beyond protecting the people, life and safety?”

Additionally, in response to an attack by Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung about whether to recognize the Japan Self-Defense Force as an army, he replied, “It is up to Japan to decide.” I did it.

Regarding the text message controversy between Director General Yoo Byung-ho of the Audit and Inspection Board and Director Lee Kwan-seop of the presidential office, Lee Gwan-seop, deputy spokesman, reiterated the previous position of the presidential office, saying, “There was no nothing in the text message that would impair professional independence.”
