hearing members of the Democratic Party focused on suspicions about the past activities of the police chief Kim Soon-ho, who was selected as the first police chief of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.

In 1989, when Kim was a college student, he was active in the labor movement group Incheon Bucheon Democratic Workers' Association, also known as the In Presbytery.

He also criticized the police over the future role of the police department.

[Lee Seong-man / Democratic Party Rep.: Appointing such a person as the police chief who suppressed the democratization movement and suppressed normal political activities (doesn't that

mean returning to the past?)]

I also confirmed it through reports, etc.]

In response to the point that the appointment of the police chief should be cancelled, Candidate Yoon also stated that he would consult with the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.

[Lee Hae-sik / Democratic Party lawmaker: (Public Security Superintendent Kim Soon-ho) I think we should cancel the dispatch of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and have the Minister of Public Administration and Security return.]

[Yoon Hee-geun / Candidate of National Police Agency: I'll do it.]

People involved in the Sungkyunkwan University Democratic Alumni Association and Innohoe case said that if Director Kim did not reveal the truth himself, he would launch a resignation campaign.

[Ahn Jae-hwan / Former Chairman of the 'Incheon/Bucheon Workers' Association': (Only insiders can know) The name of the member, the company he belongs to, and the organization after that.

(The fact that the members (Kim Soon-ho himself) organized were taken away, disappeared, and did not come out after a countermeasure meeting (a basis for suspicion.)]

Director Kim Sun-ho dismissed this, saying it was like a novel.

He told the police that he had only confessed to what he had done and that he was trying to isolate himself from the marrow saboteurs.

"The truth will come out," he said.
