There is a large stone in front of the National Intelligence Service building.

The principle of the NIS was engraved on it, but the NIS decided to replace it with the one used in the past.

Also, as it became known that all of the first-class directors were on standby, there is an interpretation that they have started a major water change.



Correspondent Kim Min-jung covered the report.

The new principle of the National Intelligence Service changed today (24th) is "Work in the dark and aim for the sun".



It was built by former Prime Minister Kim Jong-pil, who was the first director of the National Intelligence Service, in 1961, when the National Intelligence Service, the predecessor of the National Intelligence Service, was established.



Wonhunseok, which was used for 37 years until 1998 and was stored within the National Intelligence Service, was also rebuilt.



The National Intelligence Service said, "In response to the point that the font undermines the identity of the intelligence agency, we conducted a replacement survey and decided to change the original principle by reflecting the opinions of the majority."



Built in June last year to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the National Intelligence Service, Won Hoon-seok was engraved in the font of the late Shin Young-bok, who served 20 years in prison for violating the National Security Act.

In response to the interpretation that Won-hoon's revival 60 years ago would erase the former government, the NIS explained, "It means not to go back to the past, but to go back to the beginning and be faithful to our original role."



However, internally, a large-scale human change was also predicted.



All 27 of the first-level director of the National Intelligence Service have been placed on standby at the education center.



The NIS said that the appointment was delayed due to the delay in personnel appointments, but the Democratic Party criticized it as "an impatience to take control of the NIS as soon as possible."
