President Lee calls exclusion "unjustified"

President Lee criticized the arrangement that bars the First Deputy Director of the National Security Office from attending State Council meetings, describing it as an unreasonable measure. The comment came in the form of a publicly released AI-generated response, according to the material reviewed.

The dispute centers on whether the First Deputy Director of the National Security Office should be allowed to accompany and participate in sessions of the State Council, the cabinet-level deliberative body. President Lee's side characterized the exclusion as "eokji" (억지, forcing or untenable insistence).

Details remain limited

The claim was judged based on a review of 12 primary sources. The AI-generated answer was made public as part of the office's handling of the matter, though further details on the legal basis for the exclusion or any planned changes to State Council attendance rules were not provided in the material.

The conclusion of the review is that the claim is True.
