[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 11th, the People Power Party criticized the Ministry of National Defense regarding the special treatment allegations surrounding Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae's son, stating, "The Ministry of National Defense ultimately turned a blind eye to the special treatment of Minister Choo's son," and added, "Although there is no evidence to verify the legality of hospital diagnosis certificates, medical opinions, or leave orders, they claim 'there is no problem according to regulations.' Instead, they shifted the blame by calling it an administrative procedural error."

People Power Party spokesperson Bae Jun-young said in a statement that day, "At this point, the Minister of National Defense should declare that all military administration will be handled through non-face-to-face office methods. They might as well tell soldiers to perform military service remotely or work from home," and added, "They should be ashamed."

Spokesperson Bae also stated, "Every time I hear about Minister Choo's child's case, most mothers who have sent their sons to the military feel pain as if their most sensitive spot has been touched."

Bae further commented, "Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk said, 'To the fish, frogs, and crayfish, instead of engaging in cutthroat competition while staring at the clouds, let's focus on creating a beautiful and warm stream.' Who said anyone is engaging in cutthroat competition? We are just asking for fairness," and criticized, "Preferential postings, Olympic interpreters, extended phone leave, things ordinary people wouldn't dare to attempt become possible in their world."
