Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said he "personally agrees" with the idea of withdrawing all South Korean staff from the Kaesong Industrial Complex in North Korea.
Kim was responding to a plea from Saenuri Party lawmaker Han Ki-ho in a meeting of the National Assembly's Defense Committee on Thursday.
Han said, "We should recommend to President Park Geun-hye that South Korean workers in Kaesong should return home. If any North Korean provocation were followed by retaliation, they could be held hostage."
Kim said the Unification Ministry is in charge and has already decided its policy. "As a defense minister, I will focus on military assistance in times of crisis," he added.
