[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, criticized the allegations of preferential treatment in military service for the son of Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae on the 17th, saying, "Looking at the announcements related to Minister Choo's son, we can see the Ministry of National Defense becoming politicized," and added, "I doubt whether such an attitude can lead the entire military."

At the Emergency Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Chairman Kim said, "Looking at various remarks recently made in the political sphere, it is impossible for ordinary citizens to make a common-sense judgment."

Regarding the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), Chairman Kim pointed out, "What we are currently failing to confirm is the continuous occurrence of asymptomatic confirmed cases," and said, "Compared to other countries, the number of tests seems too low."

Chairman Kim said, "We should now take measures so that diagnostic kits can be available to the general public, allowing each person to check whether they have COVID-19," and requested, "I ask the government to specifically review and take action on this point."
