Yoo Seung-min: "Yoon Must Thoroughly Investigate Yongsan 'Drone' Intrusion"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding the fact that North Korea's unmanned aerial vehicle intruded into the airspace above Yongsan, which was revealed belatedly, Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker and ruling party presidential candidate, urged President Yoon Seok-yeol to conduct a thorough investigation, saying, "It is a serious problem if the government lies about national security."

On the 5th, Yoo said through his social media (SNS), "無信不立 (Musinbullip), there is no greater power than the truth."

He pointed out, "The government must tell the truth to the people for the people to trust the government. National security is a matter of life and death," adding, "If the military did not know about this fact for a long time and took ten days to identify the flight path, it is truly incompetent, and if they knew and concealed it, they deceived the people on a matter concerning their lives."

Yoo also said, "It is not the right attitude for the military to strongly deny that the North Korean unmanned aerial vehicle came to the airspace directly above the Yongsan Presidential Office," and added, "The president, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, must thoroughly investigate this issue and strictly enforce military discipline."
