Regarding the Line Yahoo incident triggered by the administrative guidance of Japan‘s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on the 13th, the President’s Office said, “We respected Naver‘s wishes as much as possible and were waiting for Naver to make a decision based on its mid- to long-term business strategy,” adding, “We were waiting for Naver to make a decision based on its mid- to long-term business strategy.” “Our consistent position is that we will put it first and do whatever is necessary,” he said.

Seong Tae-yoon, Presidential Office Policy Director, said in a briefing that day, “The government has respected Naver’s position as much as possible so far. “It has been reflected in the government’s response so far, and if Naver has an additional position, we will provide all support at the government level,” he said. In addition, in relation to this, an official from the President’s Office said, “It would be most advantageous for the government to help Naver if Naver provided a more truthful and specific position,” adding, “There is a part where we expect a specific position.”

Director Seong said, “On April 26th, I met with an official from the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications through the Korean Embassy in Japan to confirm the facts regarding the administrative guidance, and on April 29th, I had a meeting with Naver and shared Japan’s confirmed position. Afterwards, I worked closely with Naver. We have been communicating. “He is still communicating (with Naver).”

He continued, “If Naver is in the position to maintain Line Yahoo’s shares and business, we will ensure that appropriate information security strengthening measures are implemented and provide maximum support for this,” adding, “Naver will provide all support and measures other than capital adjustment (even if it chooses).” “It is,” he said. He added, “I hope (such government support) will be an opportunity to strengthen the level of information security regarding this issue.”

At the same time, Director Seong said to the political world, “We request bipartisan cooperation.” He emphasized, “The political frame that promotes anti-Japanese sentiment is damaging national interests,” and “It is clear that it does not help protect our national interests and reflect our interests.” He continued, “The government plans to provide as much support as possible so that our companies can make decisions autonomously without any unreasonable disposition or unfavorable conditions from overseas,” and added, “We will strongly respond to even the slightest unfair action against the wishes of our businesspeople.”
