Choo Kyung-ho said, "I did not attend the memorial service for Sado Mine, and I followed the principle..."Japan, don't shake friendship."

Choo Kyung-ho, floor leader of People's Power, said the government's absence from the Japanese-led Sado mine memorial ceremony was a compliance with the government's principle that it would not disobey or compromise with Japan when it comes to past history issues between the two countries.Floor leader

Chu said at the Supreme Council, "We regret that the memorial service did not properly reflect our government's demands, even though it was a sensitive issue between Korea and Japan."

The Japanese government should not shake the atmosphere of friendship between Korea and Japan, which has been created for a long time since the inauguration of the Yoon Suk Yeol government, and at the same time, the Korean government needs to reflect on and check whether the result is due to the complacent attitude of the Korean diplomatic authorities.

Kwak Kyu-taek, a senior spokesman, also issued a comment and explained that the government was absent from the memorial service after it was belatedly known that a vice minister-level official attending as a representative of the Japanese government had visited Yasukuni shrine.

He emphasized that it was an inevitable measure as Japan prepared the event without memorializing and reflecting on the victims.
