The Chosun Ilbo has published a photo showing Park Wang-ja’s body lying at the edge of the beach while North Korean soldiers and Hyundai Asan employees look on. According to Yonhap News, there is a discrepancy between North Korean officials and Hyundai Asan regarding the location where Ms. Park fell. The North Koreans have maintained that Ms. Park was shot 200 meters from the border fence. Hyundai Asan concurred at first, and then revised the distance to 300 meters. Another photo shows Ms. Park, dressed in a long skirt, leaving her hotel room . The CCTV camera recorded the time as 4:31 AM; Hyundai officials at first claimed that the CCTV system clock was 12 minutes and 29 seconds fast but have since reversed themselves and confirmed that Ms. Park did depart at 4:31.

Obviously the Norks are lying….I’ve never experienced any liars in the South in all my years living here.

What’s with the them first claiming the clock was fast and then changing their mind? It’s pretty simply to check. All they needed to do was film someone holding up the correct time on a piece of paper.
Well Hyundai Asan are South Koreans and obviously they tried to cover some of the facts.
Glad it didn’t work out.
I’m finding the Hyundai Asan versions very disturbing. When you have a CEO there to confirm the findings and they state the CCTV clock was wrong — then reverse themselves — and then what??? The CEO now looks incompetent.
Can anything the Hyundai Asan says be believed? The audit of the Hyundai Asan needs to progress immediately. There is something untrustworthy going on.
Hyundai Asan needs to just shut up on the case. The North is doing a good job of hanging itself in court of international opinion by not allowing an investigation team in to the site. It is obvious that there is a coverup — and the latest 17-year-old female did it nonsense makes them look like they are desparately trying to shift the attention elsewhere.
Hyundai Asan needs to be banned from this investigation IMMEDIATELY.
ASEAN had a reference to the shooting in its chairman’s statement and later dropped it, I’m not sure why since the news reports didn’t go into detail. Pathetic.
@Kalani:
The article I linked to focused on Hyundai Asan revising its story. Other articles have identified South Korean investigators as noting the 100 meter gap between the North’s version and the photo evidence linked above. I suspect Hyundai changed its story after talking with South Korean government investigators.
