Regarding the suspicion that the son of Attorney General Choo Mi-ae was given preferential treatment while in the military, Minister Chu has denied that his aide has never called the unit.

But today (4th), a remark to the effect of the fact that the Democratic Party made a call came out.

However, the call itself was inappropriate, but it seemed to focus on explaining that it was not pressured and was not ordered by Minister Chu.

Attorney General Choo Mi-ae said that in 2017 as the Democratic Party's representative, an aide has not called the unit about extending his son's military leave.

Still, Rep

Kim Nam-guk focused on clarifying that it was a simple call for complaints, not external pressure, and that Minister Chu had never ordered.



Other Democrats who are members of the National Assembly's Legislative and Judiciary Committee also stressed that it seems correct that they made phone calls on various circumstances, but they did not discuss and call with Minister Chu.



At the time, the aide who called at the time was designated as an administrator A, who is currently working at the Blue House. It is possible that we have discussed the matter with Mr. A.”



It is a common argument among passport officials that it is something that Minister Chu did not know, but Minister Chu, who said, ‘I have not called,’ has yet to come up with a different position.
