This problem with the

boundary system has been around since 2016.

So the front line unit asked for a fix, but the Ministry of Defense has been putting it off all the time.

Then, as the incident became so big this time, we started an emergency investigation from today (2nd).



We will continue with the contents of the exclusive report by Kim Tae-hoon, a defense expert.

In July of last year, a North Korean defector man in his 20s traveled to North Korea again through an iron fence drain in Ganghwa Island.



Surveillance cameras shot seven swimming in the estuary of the Han River, but our military could not identify it.



Four months later, the 22nd Division's land fence was drilled.



Even though a North Korean man, known as a gymnast, burned iron bars like my own, the sensor for detecting the scientific perimeter system did not work.

As a result of the investigation by the Ministry of Defense, only serious failure cases that did not even operate except for hypersensitivity reactions were 5,225 cases in three years from October 2016 when the scientific alert system was established.



The 22nd Division in question also reached 700 cases.



Although numerous civil complaints were filed in front-line units, the Ministry of Defense emphasized only mid- to long-term measures.



[Seowook/Minister of Defense (Last November, National Assembly Defense Agency): I put the GOP Scientificization-2 project as a medium-term new project, but I'm thinking of reflecting the problems in it and thinking about something like an upgraded camera or something like this...

military started an emergency field survey from today late.



The Ministry of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Army Headquarters, and the Radiation Administration formed a joint investigation team on an unusual basis.



For four days, the 22nd Division and other areas of the Eastern Front will be investigated, and it is time to see if fundamental measures will come out.
