Amidst this, new suspicions have also been raised.

It is said that at the time when Minister Choo Mi-ae's son did not return to the unit after the second sick leave, someone in his family made two calls to the Ministry of Defense's Civil Affairs Office.

It seems like we need to check who is calling and what else we are talking to.

Under the title of'Concerning the Controversy on the Preferential Controversy of Attorney General Chu Mi-ae's son,' it is stated in the interview record that the Ministry of National Defense's complaints office received a call for a vacation handling complaint from someone and called the unit to confirm this.



There were two calls to the complaint office on the night of June 25, 2017 and the 26th, and the results of SBS coverage were confirmed.



Multiple military officials said the caller was known as one of Seo's parents, either Seo's father or the Democratic Party leader at the time.



On the 25th, when the first call was made, it is the same day that a soldier on duty at the unit contacted Mr. Seo, who had not returned after the second sick leave, that he should return.



On this day, Mr. A claimed that Mr. Seo did not return, and an officer from a senior unit suddenly came and ordered Mr. Seo to be placed on the vacation list.



Military officials said the 25th was Sunday, and that the call appears to have been called again the next day, and that the request was not confirmed.



At a hearing on the candidate's candidate in December last year, Minister Chu cut off and said he was not involved in the issue of his son's leave.

Mr. Seo said about this, "there was no call from Minister Chu to the Department of Defense."
