Lee Nak-yeon, Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea, said, "I am very indifferent to the confusion."

Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon apologized on the 6th that confusion occurred due to the lack of details on the confusion between the ministries following the closure of the virtual money exchange.

In the afternoon, Lee Jun-yeong said, "In relation to virtual currency regulation inquiries by Chae Bae, a representative of Chae Bae, the government said that the government should not block illegal activities, "We are watching the market situation with three principles, including the development of original technology."

The prime minister said, "I have been disturbed by the fact that the ministry of the minister of justice has annulled the exchange after the government closed the exchange, "There is no reason not to go through the National Assembly because there is a law about the closing of the exchanges after all, and the details have been omitted, The Office of the State Planning and Coordination Department has taken over the control tower to prevent such abandonment. "

The prime minister said, "The government is worried about the problem of virtual currency trading," Lee said. "We must prevent the victims of goodwill from rising and falling, We are also paying attention to the possibility of action. "

However, he said that he did not have any plans for regulation on virtual currency transactions. Lee said, "It is being discussed carefully about the question of whether the financial authorities should be able to look directly at the exchange for securing the stability of virtual currency transactions," he said. I can not help but think that the measures that will be given to the market are desirable. "

On the other hand, he added, "I will discuss it within the government," adding that the government should take precautionary measures against security incidents, such as hacking, by implementing a network separation measure for the virtual money exchange.
