Seo-mo, 27, the son of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, did not return to the unit after taking sick leave from June 5 to 23, 2017 when he was a private KATUSA soldier in the military. Suspicion of returning to military leave was overwhelmed. Seo was discharged from full maturity in August of the following year. However, it was found that in 2017, when this incident occurred, several ordinary private soldiers who did not return after taking vacations were sentenced to prison for evacuation of military affairs under the Military Penal Law. Among the soldiers, there is a saying that “the son of the Minister of Justice will be discharged even if he does not return, and the children of ordinary citizens will go to prison if they return.”
According to the 2017 military court ruling that Representative Yun Han-hong received by the Ministry of National Defense, there was one case where he returned 17 minutes late after taking a vacation and was sentenced to six months in prison. Private A left the unit on July 29, 2017 after receiving an overnight stay for 2 days. It was a month after the incident occurred, Minister Chu’s son. Soldier A said, “It bothers me a lot of money to give back” and “I hate controlled military life” via a Facebook messenger in a computer room near the military base around 7pm on July 30. Private A did not return to the unit until 12:00 that night. After persuading the company commander, he informed the unit of the location of the PC room where he is at 12:02 tonight and returned to the unit at 12:17 p.m.
The Ordinary Military Court (first trial) sentenced soldier A, who returned from being out 17 minutes later, to six months in prison for applying the crime of leaving the military service provided for in article 30 of the Military Penal Law. The judge said: “Private A had previously left military service and was on probation. However, he again retired from military service and undermined the morale of his fellow soldiers who were quietly fulfilling the defense mission despite difficult conditions. ” Soldier A was sentenced to innocence in the Superior Military Court (second trial) while he was serving prison. Unlike the first trial, it was difficult to see it as a departure from the group because Private A announced his intention to return just before the holiday deadline.
There is another similar case. B Lee Byung was on vacation for 4 days and 3 nights from September 4, 2017, but did not return until September 7. While hiding in a motel, he contacted the troops to “embark”, but the military police did. stopped 48 hours later. He admitted the charges in court and said, “I will be tough in the future.” An ordinary military court sentenced him to one year in prison and two years of probation for his discharge from military service. Private C also went to the sauna and computer room without returning after taking a three-night, four-day vacation in August of that year and surrendered 40 hours later. The ordinary military court sentenced him to one year in prison and two years of probation, saying: “It lowered the morale of the entire army and upset the army.”
On the other hand, Minister Chu’s son did not return to the unit until June 23, 2017, the date of return from the additional sick leave. Representative Yun Han-hong said, “Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol should form a special investigation team to fully investigate the allegations of Minister Chu’s son.”
On the Internet, men in their 20s and 30s who experienced military service continued to fill up. SNU LIFE, a community site for Seoul National University alumni and faculty, published a post that read, “To receive additional sick leave, like Seo, you have to go through various administrative procedures and all traces must remain in the military administration system “. Another user said, “There are many experts in military administration in the Republic of Korea, which is a recruiting country, and it is very embarrassing for Minister Chu to say that there is no mistake.” There were also writings that recalled the controversy over former Justice Minister Cho Kook, such as “Don’t try to fool him because it is different from the paper or private equity case.
In the ‘Gopas’ community of Korea University, there was also an article like “When I went to the Armed Forces Hospital, I found a patient with Chubby syndrome who was sick, but it is ridiculous to say that I went to the army for an illness So”.
On the community site ‘MLB Park’, more than 200 posts about Minister Chu were published for two days starting on the 6th. One netizen listed cases in which he was punished with prison for leaving military service in the last 1 -2 years. Then there were comment lines like “They have to be medium size because your mother’s assistant didn’t call me”, “I want to bring this material in front of Chu Mi-ae.”
On the KATUSA-related bulletin board in the DC Inside Internet community, “It’s ridiculous to extend the vacation using ‘Mom Call’ while she’s not coming back from vacation.” “Like Mr. Seo, if he wasn’t cured after taking a long sick leave, he would return to the unit. It is common to send him to the next Hospital of the Armed Forces ”.
