Seo-mo, 27, the son of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, served as a KATUSA soldier in the US 2nd Division in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do from 2016 to 2018. The party of the The opposition started with a self-deployment (a request to be sent to Yongsan), a selection of interpreters (former Defense Minister Song Young-moo, National Assembly Ministry of Defense liaison group), request for sick leave and extended leave ( assistant Chu Mi-ae). He asked if “and” external pressure “were working.
◇ Yongsan deployment, Pyeongchang interpreter request?
On the 7th, Ho-young Joo, the head of the village power, said, “There is a testimony that there was a continuous request to place Mr. Seo in Yongsan, Seoul.” Reservist Colonel A, who served as the head of the US Army’s 8th ROK Army Support Group in Korea at the time of his service, told Representative Won-sik Shin: ” I did it as prescribed by the first to come to the US Second Division and send (Seo) to Yongsan. ” I prevented them from requesting an additional shipment later. “
Colonel A also said, “Many requests to send Mr. Seo as an interpreter came from the minister’s office (Song Young-moo) or the National Assembly liaison team.” He also revealed that the existing selection method, which was based on interviews and English ratings at the time, changed a lot. In this regard, it was suspected that an assistant in the office of the then defense minister, Song Young-moo, made a request to the ROK military support group regarding the selection of interpreters for Seo. The aide is known to have been from the Democratic Party and currently works as an expert member of the Democratic Party. It is also argued that “At that time, the representative office of the Democratic Party, Chu Mi-ae, asked about the procedures for the selection of interpreters for officials of the Ministry of Defense office.”
The opposition party also raises the possibility that the representative office of the Democratic Party at that time or the assistants of Congressman Chu Mi-ae deliver the request to the liaison team of the National Assembly of the Ministry of Defense. However, at that time, Defense Minister Song Young-moo said, “I don’t know,” and Minister Chu said, “Is the selection of interpreters a high preference?” “As a result, there is no problem because the selection was not made.”
Colonel A said there was a request for Seo’s self-deployment. It is said that it was not the Uijeongbu 2nd Division, but it was requested to be deployed in Yongsan, which is called a lottery among the KATUSA soldiers. Although this was unsuccessful, the request for preferential treatment for Mr. Seo continued from the beginning of his military service.
◇ 58 days off, 19 days off due to illness “No registration”
SEO has been on vacation for 58 days for 21 months of service. Representative Shin Won-sik said, “There is no precedent, especially for those who got sick for 19 consecutive days.” Seo’s first sick leave was from June 5 to 14, 2017, and her second sick leave was from June 15 to 23. To apply for or extend sick leave in the military, it is necessary to go through a strict procedure, such as a medical certificate, a statement from the military doctor and a unit deliberation. However, after completing the first sick leave, Seo did not return to the unit and immediately received the second sick leave.
The officers who administered Seo’s vacation at the time stated, “It is correct that there were no sick leave records at that time,” in a recent investigation by the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutor’s Office. In response, Seo said, “We have provided all the necessary data to apply for and extend sick leave,” after posting some medical records, such as a medical certificate at the Seoul Samsung Hospital. However, Representative Yoo Sang-beom, the people’s power, said: “The documents filed for the second sick leave extension were issued on June 21, 2017” and “six days after the start of the second sick leave by illness, day 15 “.
◇ 23 days off … ‘Captain Yukbon’ ‘Mother’s Aide’ Duck?
Seo did not return to the unit after the end of the second sick leave on June 23 of that year. Mr. B, who was on duty on the 25th, said: “When I called Mr. Seo and asked if he was coming back, he got a reply saying,” I’m home. I told you to take a vacation. ” In this regard, Minister Chu said: “The lieutenant colonel of the unit that has the authority to approve Mr. Seo’s license gave an interview with the media saying ‘I approved it verbally,'” and said: “It has nothing to do with the extended license and the captain ”.
On the other hand, the South Korean military support officers from the Seo unit told the prosecution that “I received a phone call from a person named Chu Mi-ae asking for an extension of sick leave.” It was revealed that the officer in charge of the license even made a ‘callback’ saying, “Sick leave cannot be extended, but it is possible to write a ‘personal love song.’ In the end, Seo added a personal love song from 4th to 1st and 2nd sick leave, and spent ’23 consecutive days off ‘.
