The name of the military police that carries out military judicial police is changed to military police in 72 years.

The ministry said yesterday that the amendment of the Military Court Act, which renamed the military police to military police, was announced in the Gazette.

The background of the revision was that the name 'Milk' had a negative meaning as a remnant of Japanese colonial rule, and that its meaning did not represent the identity of the class performing various tasks.
The plan, which was first announced in November 2018, has struggled for over a year as it has not exceeded the threshold for judging the legislation.

The name 'Military' in the Korean military came with the installation of the Military Police and the Military Command in 1900.
