Park Ji-won, former head of the National Intelligence Service, said in response to the Presidential Office’s measures to ban MBC reporters from boarding the presidential plane, “The only thought is ‘This shouldn’t be true’.”

Former Director Park wrote on his Facebook on the 10th, “Last night, the MBC reporter reported that he could not get on the plane for the president’s overseas trip, and regardless of the reason, ‘President, this should not be'”.

“The freedom of the press must be guaranteed and this is the beginning of democracy,” he said.

“I don’t know if it was the president’s decision or the suggestion of the presidential office, but now the president has to correct it,” he said.

The previous day, the presidential office informed MBC that it would not allow boarding on a private plane during President Yoon’s trip, which will be held from the 11th to the 6th, 4 nights, starting on the 11th, considering “the fact that MBC’s recent diplomatic deviations and tendencies have been repeated.” In response, MBC issued a separate position and protested, saying, “This is an act that clearly limits media coverage.”
