In response to a question regarding the controversy over the ‘fleeing’ of Ambassador to Australia Lee Jong-seop, who served as Minister of National Defense, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense became ‘irritated’ and asked, ‘When did you say he was hiding?’
At the Ministry of National Defense’s regular briefing on the 21st, Ministry of National Defense Spokesperson Jeon Ha-gyu responded to a reporter’s question, “There are even expressions such as ‘running away’ and ‘running away’ regarding the former Minister of National Defense and Ambassador to Australia Lee Jong-seop. Isn’t it right for him to hide and avoid and show a lack of confidence?” “When do you mean you were hiding and avoiding me? When are you saying I was hiding?” he asked.
Spokesperson Jeon said, “He came out this morning and spoke honestly to the media about coming into (Korea).”
Spokesperson Jeon raised his voice, saying, “I cannot agree with our former minister using expressions such as flight or escape. Who are you talking about who ran away?”
In response to the reporter’s point that “Australian Ambassador Lee Jong-seop was the highest point of our military’s military command authority,” Spokesperson Jeon said, “He is such a person, but if we see him like this now, I think our soldiers will be very confused.” “I don’t know how Director Kim knows what the soldiers are thinking and is now speaking as if he represents (the soldiers).”
When asked, “Wouldn’t the soldiers have mixed feelings?” Spokesperson Jeon said, “Well, I don’t have an answer to that.”
