Choi Seong-gyeong, the director of administration invited as a lecturer that day, previously served as head of the Women's Alliance Committee in Pyongyang before defecting to North Korea, and is currently affiliated with the New Settlers Self-Reliance Support Association. During the lecture on the theme of the reality of North Korea, he compared North Korea's residents' severe economic hardship, security awareness, human rights, and educational conditions with those of our country.

During the lecture, Lecturer Choi emphasized the importance of security awareness, stating, "Let us think about the recent incident of a North Korean soldier climbing over the border fence" and "If we considered the soldier's crossing as an invasion rather than a defection, a terrible situation could have occurred."
