The SNS message was confirmed that 27-year-old Mr. Seo-mo, son of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, had a conversation with fellow soldiers mentioning ‘Yongsan’ and ‘Pyeongchang’ during military service. Yongsan represents the US military base in Yongsan, Seoul, and Pyeongchang represents the interpreter of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. It is the first time that a conversation that takes a look at Seo’s own feelings is confirmed on the 10th, while that Minister Chu denies suspicions of his son’s preferential military service.

Mr. Seo had an active conversation with senior sergeants in the Facebook Messenger group chat room from July to August 27, 2018, after he was discharged from the US 8th Army Korean Army Support Group. USA (KATUSA).

Mr. Seo wrote in the group room on August 6 around 1:54 pm, “No, I should have sent Yongsan in the first place.” When his fellow soldiers spoke with the intention that “military officers take care of (their) a lot of convenience,” Seo came up with Yongsan’s story. In this group room, the KATUSA soldier’s Yongsan US military base did not appear as the subject of dialogue until Seo mentioned ‘Yongsan’.

Seo’s military colleague A said: “In the context of the conversation, ‘I should have sent you to Yongsan’ seems to have expressed regret that he was assigned to the US military base in Yongsan.” Just before Seo spoke about Yongsan, he said: “Jobani (director of the support group).” A sweet word that means “is not guilty in front of your brother (Seo)”, “80% of executives support Sergeant OO (Seo’s real name) “,” Can’t you say something you don’t like to your brother (Seo)? “There were conversations in the back.

On the same day around 1:43 pm, Seo wrote: “Oh no matter how much I thought about it, I should have been in Pyeongchang, but only OOOO (another nickname for a soldier) sucked honey (a sweet word to have a stay comfortable)”. Seo’s comments came in the process of gossiping about other soldiers selected as interpreters with his military colleagues. The army initially tried to select performers for the Pyeongchang Olympics through recommendations and interviews, but it is a position that the selection method was greatly changed. Before the dispatch of interpreters for the PyeongChang Olympics, requests came from here and there, and the selection method was changed to an obstacle. Seo requested an interpreter, but was apparently eliminated from the lottery.

People’s Power representative Shin Won-sik has raised suspicions that Minister Chu’s son wanted to send interpreters to Pyeongchang and be deployed to Yongsan. Lee Mo, a colonel in the reserve army, who had jurisdiction over Seo’s unit, argued that “when Minister Chu’s son came to the KATUSA Soldier, from the initial classification, (the pressure was blocked), and I did not accept all the pressures that arose during the Winter Olympics. ” Furthermore, there is a situation where Minister Chu informed the representative office about the interpreter selection method supported by Seo in 2017 when he was also a representative of the Democratic Party. The military informed the representative office about the selection method before the interpreter selection procedure was completed, leading to applications. Points also came out.

However, Seo has consistently denied allegations of requesting the selection of interpreters for the Pyeongchang Olympics. Mr. Seo’s lawyer refuted the claim that “Chu Mi-ae contacted the Ministry of National Defense to select an interpreter for her son.” Furthermore, Mr. Lee, who said, “There was a request for placement in Yongsan, was charged with defamation of the police.”
