On the same day, after a meeting between Professor Tan and Mr. Yoon did not materialize, lawyer Katsuri met with Mr. Yoon bringing with him a letter written in English by Professor Tan and a translation of the same.

Attorney Kim copied out the contents of Yoon's letter verbatim. According to the letter released by the defense team, Professor Tan praised Yoon as a "national hero" and said, "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the people who attended the seminars held at Seoul University and Incheon Airport."

"We believe the sudden ban imposed to prevent Ambassador Lee Tan's visit is malicious and foolish," they wrote.
