The Supreme Court said, "Documents for 7 hours of Ferry Sewol should be adjudicated on whether to disclose them or not."

On the day of the Ferry Sewol disaster, the Supreme Court ruled that the so-called "seven-hour document of Ferry Sewol" produced or reported by Cheong Wa Dae in the Park Geun Hye should be reviewed again.

The Supreme Court today (9th) broke the original ruling that lawyer Song Ki-ho lost the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the presidential record director asking him to "cancel the non-disclosure of the information" and sent the case back to the Seoul High Court.

The Supreme Court explained the reason for the revocation and return, saying that the lower court did not omit the necessary judgment or did not conduct the hearing, affecting the judgment.

Earlier, on the day of the Ferry Sewol disaster, lawyer Song requested the disclosure of information on a list of documents produced or received in relation to rescue activities by the Presidential Secretariat, the Security Office, and the National Security Office.

However, when Cheong Wa Dae notified him that it could not be disclosed under the Presidential Records Act, lawyer Song filed an administrative lawsuit.

Later, the first trial decided that documents related to the Ferry Sewol disaster could not be viewed as presidential records, but the second trial ruled that the non-disclosure disposition was not illegal and that the plaintiff lost.
