The ruling was the first to be filed by the previous South Korean government, Yoon Seok Yel, in June 2023.
In June 2020, the DPRK undermined the Inter-Korean Liaison Office due to dissatisfaction with Seoul’s policies. It was opened in September 2018 in the North Korean border town of Kaesong. In total, 20 officials from each side worked in the office.
