Cheong Wa Dae Refutes Claim of Returning 'I am Kim Ji-eun' Book... "If Sent by Private Courier, Packaging Will Not Be Opened and Returned for Security Reasons"
[Asia Economy reporters Jung Jeong-min and Son Sun-hee] The Blue House stated that the book titled 'Kim Ji-eun imnida,' which went through formal procedures, is currently being kept at the Blue House. This is a rebuttal to claims that the book titled 'Kim Ji-eun imnida' was sent to the Blue House but was returned.
A senior Blue House official said on the 15th, "There has never been a case where the Blue House returned the book thinking it was 'Kim Ji-eun imnida,'" adding, "In the case of quick services or private couriers, packages are returned immediately without opening the packaging in front of Yeonpungmun Gate due to security reasons."
The senior Blue House official explained, "There was no instance of sending the book thinking it was 'Kim Ji-eun imnida.' It is unclear whether it was returned, but the Blue House did not recognize or send it back," and added, "Additionally, the item arrived at the Blue House on the 13th after going through the goods entry procedure from a general citizen. It followed formal procedures, and the book is now being well kept at the Blue House."
The senior Blue House official added, "For items received by the Blue House, they must go through a first security check at the reception stage and then a second security stage," and emphasized, "I would like to inform you that the book 'Kim Ji-eun imnida,' which went through formal procedures, is currently being stored."
