MK News – MK News Song Young-Mu is studied.

The Minister of National Defense Song Hyung-moo does not seem to be able to avoid the # 39; s investigation of the shooter's special envoy. Song, who had been accused of raising the situation in March after receiving reports from civilian commander Lee Seok-gu, took no action for four months.

A spokesman for the Department of National Defense Choi Hyun-soo said at a regular briefing on December 12: "Why did you leave judicial control of documents outside the department? of Justice?" I received an audit, "he said," so I thought it was not appropriate, I left it to an outside expert, "he said. .

Then the Department of Defense changed position on the 15th. An official from the Department of National Defense said: "It was a mistake to announce that it was submitted to the. external judicial review (spokesperson), "he said. Another official said: "We have not requested a review of the case law of the external institution, we simply asked the BAI". The attitude of the Department of National Defense said that the ministry had responded to the opinion of General Lee Jae-hyung on the so-called "documents of officials" He came shortly thereafter.

When Choi attended the Paralympic Closing Ceremony of Pyeongchang held in Gangwon Province on March 18, he did not meet Song separately, and the Ministry of Defense suddenly bent the allegation of external review. In other words, the Pentagon, who was hiding outside the yard, had been slow to admit the contents.

In this regard, Choi said: "If the documents written with the intention of suppressing the claims of certain political forces in the army can be considered as a political involvement of the army, this can be a problem. "I do not think there would be a difference if I had considered whether to fix the problem," said the BAI.

He added: "Choi answered at the level of the general theory", the BAI received a request from the Department of National Defense for a legal review, or after reviewing the documents on civil documents, it n & # There is no legal problem.

It is not true that the report that sent "C" is an explanation that Minister Song did not ask Mr. Choi when he met Choi separately and showed all the documents.

Some Department of National Defense officials also replied that Song did not recall whether Song had clearly instructed the Legal Department. "I do not know if Minister Song has clearly stated, but it seems that it has been reviewed internally," said a senior official of the Ministry of Defense. "I think we should check this part again."

When Song's statement is incoherent, it is composed of air force and air force inspectors and investigators specials who will go to the official investigation.
