ROK understood that the name of the North Korean woman in
question was Choi Eun-sun, rather than Kim Chun-hee.
2. (S) On March 21, Kim Ki-woong, Director of the Inter-Korea
Policy Division, told poloffs that the woman in question had

Eun-sun, also known as Kim Chun-hee, had been "sent to North
Korea." He explained that the Chinese had provided no
additional information. The ROK was considering its options
for protesting the PRC action, Kim said.
