SEOUL, Feb. 17 (Yonhap) -- In a Feb. 8 story about Korean-American missionary Robert Park's plan to sue North Korea over his sexual torture, Yonhap News Agency reported that Park made comments on the torture in an interview with Yonhap.
Yonhap had a face-to-face interview with Park in January, but it didn't have another interview for the Feb. 8 story.
Yonhap quoted Park on the basis of an account provided by a person who attended the January interview, and showed the article to Park ahead of publication and obtained his confirmation, though he later asked that the story not be published.
