Yesterday (18th) at the National Assembly, questions from opposition lawmakers and Director Kim's answers about the suspicion of spying on Kim Soon-ho, the first police chief, went back and forth.

Director Kim denied the allegation that he was specially appointed by the police in exchange for reporting a colleague who had been with him in the labor movement 33 years ago, but voices calling for director Kim's sacking continue.

<Reporter> The



first police chief Kim Soon-ho, the first chief of public security,'s 'suggestion of trespassing' was an issue throughout the report of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security's work to the National Assembly.



Director Kim, who had been suspected of being specially recruited in the past for 'Incheon Bucheon Democratic Workers' Association,' that is, informing the police of a colleague of the Innohoe, reiterated his previous position that the Innohoe was a foreign organization at the time and converted to escape from the Juche ideology.



Two years ago, when the Supreme Court pointed out the fact that the Innohoe was not a transfer organization, he apologized and lowered himself for a while, but repeatedly insisted that he had never informed his colleagues.



[Kim Soon-ho / Police Commissioner, Ministry of Public Administration and Security: If he had played a (spy) role like that, there is nothing to hide.

Because he would be suspicious.

And if he had done something like that, he would have been a con.

right after the case is over.

It was also obvious that he would be suspicious of it.]



Regardless of the opposition or opposition, I asked him why he did not receive criminal punishment even though he was engaged in the same activities of the labor union, but Director Kim refused to give a clear answer.



[Jung Woo-taek / Rep. of People's Power: Those who were in the 'Innocentr Society' were punished.



[Kim Soon-ho/Ministry of Public Administration and Security Police Director: Because it is a matter for the authorities that investigated the investigation to decide.]



[Lee Seong-man / Democratic Party lawmaker: (Why didn’t he get punished) I don’t know either, but I look after him, right?]



[Sun-ho Kim ?]

/Ministry of Public Administration and Security Police Director: I know that is not the case.] In



Yongsan, Seoul, in June, the Democratic Forum, and in front of Kim's alma mater, Sungkyunkwan University, students and others called for Kim's resignation.



[Park Jong-geun / At the time, Incheon Bucheon Democratic Workers' Association (Innohoe) member: It is not the 'Incheon Bucheon Democratic Workers' Association' who have the historical truth, reality, and the memories.

Can we bury this in history?

Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min dismissed Kim's replacement as 'a hasty judgment', saying that there is room to examine whether the question that Kim is receiving is reasonable.
