1. Vol. 2, p. 94 (Seoul, 1968). The account there reads, in translation: “On 25 June, Ch'oe Ki-dok (of a newspaper company at that time; formerly a reporter attached to the army) happened to be in Ongjin. When he saw Colonel Paik Inyop, the Commander of the 17th Regiment, he was told to ‘Return to Seoul quickly as a war is raging.’ Reporter Ch'oe retorted by saying ‘Not only me, but you should withdraw too. It does not look like you are going to withstand [the enemy] here.’ Colonel Paik: ‘When you get back to Seoul, tell them one thing. Paik In-yop had commanded his troops to advance to Haeju.’ Upon returning to Seoul, the reporter related the story to a colonel in the Bureau of Education and Information of the Ministry of Defence. Thereupon, the Ministry released the story of advance to Haeju.”
