Seoul’s Ministry of Unification (MoU) requested South Korean citizens not visit overseas North Korean restaurants on Wednesday at a regular press briefing, in line with President Park Geun-hye's speech on the same day.
MoU spokesperson Jung Joon-hee emphasized the gravity of the situation, even though it is not against South Korean law to visit the restaurants.
