Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae stubbornly denies allegations of improper requests or complaint calls about the extension of her son’s military leave.
As the prosecution’s investigation accelerates, attention is drawn to the question of whether the investigation will be carried out and, if so, how it will be received.

[기자]The question of whether Minister Choo Mi-ae intervened in the process of extending her son’s vacation became a problem when internal documents from the Defense Ministry were released.
It was written on June 15, 2017, shortly after the end of his son’s first sick leave, Mr. Seo. There is.
But Minister Chu interrupted that there was no such fact.

[신원식 / 국민의힘 의원 (지난 16일) : 휴가 연장에 관련해서 문의든 부탁이든 하여튼 전화가 왔다. 어떤 여자 분이…. 사실을 확인해보니까 추미애 장관 남편으로 기재가 되어있다….]It is up to the prosecution to reveal the substance.
The investigation is on the verge of a delay.
The prosecution called the KATUSA soldiers and fellow soldiers where Mr. Seo served, as well as Suh himself, an aide who was the leader of Minister Chu’s party, who called the unit.
What remains is whether there will be an investigation into Minister Chu, accused by civic groups or the like.
On the 15th, the Prosecutor’s Office is analyzing more than 1,500 recordings of calls in the civil petition room obtained through seizure and registration of the Ministry of Defense.
If the analysis reveals any clues that Minister Cho was directly or indirectly involved, the investigation seems inevitable.
Previously, it is known that the prosecution obtained a statement from the former assistant minister Chu that he had called the military unit at the request of Mr. Seo.
In this regard, we must also consider whether there was a request or order from Minister Chu.
However, it is a variable that the burden is high to call the minister of Justice in office with the prosecutor’s personnel authority to the investigation room without a clear circumstance in which the complaints are admitted.
However, it is said that the Prosecutor’s Office is also struggling to investigate in a third place or to replace it in writing, as criticism of the investigation is expected if the investigation is completed without an investigation.
As the prosecution investigation progresses towards the end and accelerates, the decision on whether to investigate Minister Choo Mi-ae and how will sooner or later be decided.
