this with reporter Kim Hak-hui.
Q. Is the North Korean projectile a rocket or a missile?
[Kim Hak-hui: Long-range rockets that send satellites into space and ICBMs for nuclear attack are made with virtually the same technology. However, if you carry a bomb on top of the launch vehicle and fly a ballistic, it is an ICBM, and if you carry a satellite and raise it to space as high as possible, it is a long-range rocket. The United Nations Security Council prohibits any form of launch using North Korea's ballistic missile technology, regardless of its purpose. That is why the launch of a long-range rocket is also considered a violation of Security Council resolutions.]
Q. What is North Korea aiming for with this launch?
[Kim Hak-hui: It will be both. North Korea is pursuing this launch in accordance with its already announced plan to acquire reconnaissance satellites. Currently, North Korea does not have reconnaissance satellites. We are having difficulty monitoring our facilities and tracking targets at sea, so we will definitely try to acquire reconnaissance satellites. Since we need to launch a number of high-performance satellites, North Korea is likely to continue to shoot more in the future. Separately, North Korea has used this launch to develop ICBM technology, In particular, it is expected to be used as an opportunity to increase the capacity to carry multiple warheads.]
Q. "The Price of Payment"... What is the government's response?
On January 2016, 1, North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test. A month later, on February 6, it fired a Kwangmyeong rocket at Tongchang-ri. On that day, the Park Geun-hye government announced that "the United States and South Korea will begin formal consultations on the deployment of THAAD on the Korean Peninsula." And in July, after formalizing the deployment of THAAD by the USFK, North Korea conducted its fifth nuclear test in September. The government may take military action again, but it is likely to consider how to respond until the last minute, as it could give North Korea an excuse to conduct its seventh nuclear test. In some cases, the situation surrounding the Korean Peninsula has once again It's something that can be rocked.]
