[Asia Economy Reporter Yang Nak-gyu]On the 29th, Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-du stated that President Moon Jae-in emphasized the need for a swift investigation regarding allegations of confidential information leaks by retired researchers from the Agency for Defense Development (ADD).

Minister Jeong explained at the National Assembly Defense Committee plenary session that day, "I also instructed the director general to establish extraordinary measures, and since the VIP (President) emphasized the necessity of a swift investigation, joint agencies are conducting a comprehensive and strict investigation."

Minister Jeong also mentioned, "The scale of the leak is said to be about 680,000 cases, but the confidential materials are around 4,000 cases," adding, "Even a single case of general data leakage is very wrong."

He added, "I think the researchers have been managing the system easily by frequently presenting at academic conferences or symposiums," and said, "I will emphasize clarifying that part."
