Seoul made no official mention of Kim’s reputation. But the administrations of both Lee Myung-bak - who was president at the time of the attack - and successor Park Geun-hye accused him of orchestrating the Cheonan attack. At the time, Kim helmed the army’s Reconnaissance General Bureau. A senior Blue House official refused to blame him when asked by local reporters on Thursday during a background briefing. Kim is blacklisted unilaterally by Seoul and Washington due to his links to the regime’s weapons development program. Seoul has decided to temporarily lift the ban for the upcoming visit and discuss that issue with the United States, said the Blue House source. Two members of the delegation that attended the opening ceremony this month were also under sanctions. Kim will meet President Moon Jae-in at least once during the closing ceremony on Sunday at 8 p.m. at the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium in Gangwon, said the official, and probably meet his South Korean counterpart as well, National Intelligence Service Director Suh Hoon. North Korea has no plans to meet with the delegation from Washington led by Ivanka Trump, U.S. President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser, Moon’s aide continued. Nor does the Blue House have any intention at the moment to try to facilitate a meeting. The Trump delegation is scheduled to arrive today and leave Monday.
