On the 15th, North Korea blew away $130 million (about 176.8 billion won) in South Korean taxes into the air by blowing up roads on the Gyeongui and Donghae lines.
Following the inter-Korean liaison office at the Kaesong Industrial Complex that it blew up three years ago, attention is being paid to whether South Korean government authorities will hold North Korea legally responsible by destroying assets invested in the South.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea blew up a section north of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) on the Gyeongui and East Sea lines around noon.
The Gyeongui Line and the East Sea Line were roads connecting the two Koreas in the west and east of the Korean Peninsula, respectively.
The reconnection of the Gyeongui and East Sea railways and the land roads along with the railroads, which had been cut off by the division of the two Koreas, has been regarded as a symbol of inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation.
Since the end of last year, North Korea has continued to lay landmines around roads, remove streetlights, remove railways, and remove adjacent auxiliary buildings to cut off the land route between the two Koreas.
This month, the North Korean General Staff announced on the 9th, "We will completely cut off roads and railways in our area connected to the Republic of Korea and fortify them with solid defensive structures."
The General Staff told the corporation that "bombing work is also scheduled," and a day after South Korea's military surveillance equipment captured the situation that North Korea was preparing to detonate and install a screen on the Gyeongui and East Sea lines, it eventually led to the blast of the connection road.
The problem is that even roads and railways in the North Korean territory have been injected with Korean national taxes.
According to the government, the Korean government's in-kind loans were supported for the project to connect the Gyeongui Line and the Donghae Line by railway and land.
The amount of loans was worth $132.9 million from 2002 to 2008, reaching 180 billion won based on the current exchange rate.
Although it is a loan, which is a nominal loan, North Korea has never paid it back.
The Gyeongui Line and the Donghae Line roads and railways are also considered to be legally criticized for their Korean budget, and the destruction is an act that undermines the foundation of mutual respect and trust between the two Koreas, raising speculation that the government could launch a lawsuit in this regard.
