police alleged that there was a military request from the son of Attorney General Choo Mi-ae, and then turned over the accused reserve colonel to the prosecution with the opinion of prosecution.
Even though he knew that it was false, he delivered suspicion to the opposition party and defamed Minister Chu and his family.

Former Colonel Lee Cheol-won, who served as the commander of the support for the Korean Army of the 8th US Army, was a personnel authority when Seo Mo, the son of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, served as a KATUSA Soldier.
In a phone call with Congressman Won-sik Shin, the power of the people in August, former Colonel Lee insisted on the intent that Mr. Seo asked for a change of service units and refused to do so.

Mr. Seo said it was not true, and accused former Colonel Lee and SBS of reporting it of defamation.
It is said that there is no request for troop placement and that the Seo family has not met a person in charge of the troops or received separate training.
After two months of investigation, the police, even though they knew that former Colonel Lee was false, passed it on to the new congressional office.
Former Colonel Lee corrected, "I did not meet Seo's family separately, but on the day of the graduation ceremony, he mentioned the prohibition of solicitation in front of 400 soldiers' families," and said, "I heard that Seo was asked whether to deploy Yongsan or not." This is because we have stepped back in relation to it.
The police also sent a non-prosecution opinion on SBS, who were accused together.
