As a result of our coverage, it was confirmed that the prosecution is also investigating another broker other than the military service broker you saw earlier.
After the SBS report yesterday (27th) that the investigation is expanding to soccer following professional volleyball, the Professional Football Federation also launched a full investigation.
Reporter Lee Tae-kwon covered this story exclusively.

The person the prosecution is investigating is Mr. Kim, a former reserve army major and a professional military administrator.
Kim, like Koo, is also accused of helping his clients get exempted from or reduced military service by falsely diagnosing epilepsy.
I visited a shared office in Seocho-gu, Seoul that Mr. Kim registered as his office address.
[Shared office staff: They seem to be healthy, but I'm not sure if they are athletes, because they're all wearing masks.
(Young men in their 20s?) Yes, that's about it.]
Prosecutors estimate that at least 70 people have consulted with Mr. Kim and Ms. Koo for exemption from military service.
In particular, it is said that, as the claim in Mr. Goo's transcripts, he has identified the circumstances in which his clients include children from professions such as lawyers and doctors.
The aftermath of the 'epileptic military service corruption' is spreading beyond professional volleyball to professional soccer.
It is said that the prosecution received reports that not only the first division of the professional football K-League, but also the players of the second division were involved in corruption, and are confirming it from various angles.
It was confirmed that the Professional Football Federation also sent an official letter to the K-League clubs today requesting a full investigation to see if there are any players involved in military service corruption.
[Professional Football Federation Officials: I asked the former club to find out if there are any players who are being investigated for corruption in the military service or to be investigated and submit it by the first week of January...
.]
The results of the full enumeration survey are scheduled to be delivered to the federation by the first week of January, and it is noteworthy whether there will be a player who will reveal himself like professional volleyball player Jae-seong Cho yesterday.

Reporter Park Won-gyeong, who is covering this case, is with me.
Q. How did you obtain the recording file?
[Reporter Park Won-kyung: When you think that the medical image reading was wrong in the military service examination, you can file an objection or receive an administrative judgment.
The people who help with this legal process are the administrators.
It is said that when there is corruption in military service, it is reported to the Military Manpower Administration.
One of the people in the administrative affairs industry reported to us the recording file he had secured, saying that people like Mr. Koo, a broker who was arrested and indicted, should be severely punished.]
Q. What about the client?
[Reporter Park Won-kyung: As Mr. Goo was handed over to trial, there are a total of 7 evaders listed in the indictment.
Prosecutors are checking whether there are other clients through analysis of Goo's account details.
The number may increase up to 10 times.
There are also such prospects.
It is known that many of the evaders through another broker, Mr. Kim, are also subject to investigation, and other reports are also being reported to the joint investigation team of the prosecution and the Military Manpower Administration.
When we did an interview, it was said that most of the subjects were men in their late 20s who had been postponing their military service. It seems.]
Q. Expanding the investigation into the medical community?
[Reporter Park Won-kyung: We have done an investigation and it has been confirmed that there are no medical personnel or hospitals involved in this case yet.
However, if you look at the transcript I gave you earlier, the broker, Mr. Gu, shows off his relationship with medical workers and other people very much.
For this reason, it seems impossible to completely rule out the possibility that the investigation will expand to the medical field depending on the results of the investigation in the future.]
