[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] Dr. Yang Seung-oh, who was indicted after raising allegations of military service corruption involving Park Ju-shin, the son of the late former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, has claimed that "a physical examination of Park is necessary" and requested the court to conduct a physical examination of Park overseas through international judicial cooperation.

On the 14th, Yang's lawyer stated at the continuation hearing of the appeal trial for the violation of the Public Official Election Act held by the Criminal Division 6 of the Seoul High Court (Presiding Judges Oh Seok-jun, Lee Jeong-hwan, and Jung Soo-jin), "This case can be resolved without medical or scientific doubts if only Park Ju-shin's physical examination and filming are conducted."

In particular, the lawyer said, "A physical examination is absolutely necessary, and the trial should not be concluded without it," adding, "Since Park Ju-shin's overseas address is likely known by his mother, Kang Nan-hee, we will inquire and apply for international judicial cooperation procedures for the physical examination and filming."

The lawyer also applied to summon Kang, stating that as Park Ju-shin's mother, she cannot be unaware of the issues such as the military service corruption allegations. The court decided to review the related documents and then determine whether to summon them as witnesses.

Meanwhile, Park, who was scheduled to be questioned as a witness that day, submitted a non-attendance statement to the court the day before, stating that "he has already left the country and cannot appear as a witness." The court deemed Park's reason for not attending the witness examination unjustified and imposed a fine of 5 million won.
