“You have to think with common sense,” said Hyeon-mo, 27, a duty officer who informed the public about the return of his son, Seo-mo (27), who was Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae. , to return to the United States on vacation. On June 25, 2017, Mr. Hyun was a guard soldier of the KATUSA soldiers unit, when he did not return to the unit of Minister Chu’s son. He also said: “If the Minister of Justice says:” Where does the world go to jail? “
In the process of reporting public interest after being investigated by the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutor’s Office investigating the case, Hyun said, “The soldier on duty who called Seo back is obviously opening his eyes, but he came out because said something”. The ruling party’s claim that there is no problem with the extension of the vacation of Minister Chu’s son was “unimaginable with common sense.”
According to the power of the people, Kim Do-eup, the duty officer on June 25, 2017, said, “While on duty, I received a vacancy report from Sergeant Major Cho ○○ during the roll call process around at 9 pm while on duty. ” The return signature column was also empty, so I contacted the private cell phone through the emergency contact network and ordered the return. “
He also vividly recalled the situation on the phone with Minister Chu’s son at that time. He said: “As soon as I realized that he would not return, I called a private around 9:00 pm and asked him where he was now, and he said, ‘It’s his house.’ He said, “I asked for a taxi to come to the unit (Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi province) at this time, and I thought it would arrive at 10 pm because I got it.”
However, it is said that it was not Minister Chu’s son who came to the unit, but the captain of a higher unit. Mr. Hyun said, “The captain said, ‘Are you a vigilante calling private? I took care of the vacation, so the report said, “Please put him on vacation instead of coming back.” “I didn’t report to the local university, but it doesn’t make sense for the local officer to go first and correct Mr. Seo as a vacationer,” he said. “I thought the captain first caught the returnee and came for disciplinary reasons. That’s common sense. “
He also said: “If you have common sense, it is unimaginable that Private Seo, who had been in the army for 7 months at that time, would call the captain, who had heard of his face and name for the first time, and asked him: ‘I’m not going back, but please extend my vacation.’ However, on the 11th, the Ministry of National Defense presented a favorable interpretation of the rules to Mr. Seo, saying, “We believe there were no problems in the procedure.” Shortly after this, it was reported that the civilian petitions office of the Defense Ministry was inundated with inquiries from soldiers asking: “Can I extend the vacation with a single phone call?” Hyun, who is currently attending graduate school after being discharged from the KATUSA Soldier, noted that the Ministry of Defense’s interpretation of the sub-war acceptance was reckless.
Hyun criticized Chu’s attitude that he had “completed his call” on suspicion of his son’s imperial license. He said: “After Minister Chu said ‘I did not (apply)’, he said that he had finished his vocation,” he said. “Would you be innocent if a person who was detained in ‘N Room’ claims that he did not make me ? If the Minister of Justice said: “It is all clear,” he said, “No one in this world will go to jail to be tried.”
As the military records proving the suspicion of Choo’s son’s preferential leave evaporate one after another, the KATUSA reserve soldiers continue to testify in real name that “there was a request.” Not only Hyun, a service soldier, but also a support officer who was in charge of personnel affairs in the unit testified that “I received a phone call directly from the assistant (Minister Chu).”
Reserve Colonel Lee Cheol-won, who was the head of the US Army’s 8th ROK Army Support Group, also said on the 11th that “there was a report that there was a call requesting the location of Minister Chu’s son in Yongsan. ” It was also said that a full application was actually made to select Seo as a performer for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. As for the background of the statement, “I was feeling uncomfortable as a final commander at the time I saw the KATUSA Soldier’s statement of conscience, but I was only observing (until now) that there would be disadvantages for subordinates on active duty.” I am more rigid, transparent and reasonably in command of the troops. “
Seo is responding to the KATUSA Soldier’s public interest report with a lawsuit. Regarding the disclosure of the duty officer, Mr. Seo’s defense said, “It is a typical example of a nth source of information,” which makes the errant stories as unfounded as if they had been experienced in person. ” I would do it “. In addition, Colonel Lee was previously charged with defamation for false deeds. People Power criticized this as “Now, the ROK has become a country that has never been experienced by blocking the mouth of a reserve sergeant who said ‘Please think common sense’ with a threatening accusation.”
