[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 15th, the People Power Party stated regarding the prosecution's search and seizure of the Ministry of National Defense while investigating allegations of preferential treatment in military service for the son of Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, "It is quite ironic that the Ministry of National Defense, which was closer to being a victim if anything, is instead being subjected to a search and seizure," adding, "It must be even more bewildering since this happened after coordinating with the Democratic Party in a collusive meeting on the 9th."

People Power Party spokesperson Bae Jun-young said in an oral comment that day, "The prosecution, which was embroiled in controversies over delayed investigations and lenient treatment under the suffocating pressure of the regime, is now conducting a belated search and seizure, and the public doubts whether this will yield any legitimate results," urging, "We call for the revelation of the substantive truth without a single suspicion."

Spokesperson Bae also stated, "It is said that there are recorded files of all phone calls made to the Ministry of National Defense's civil affairs office since 2015," adding, "Now the truth will see the light of day."

Bae further said, "We all clearly remember the words Minister Choo made yesterday in the National Assembly plenary session, the representative institution of the people," and added, "She must immediately clarify her position as soon as the facts are revealed."
