[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] President Moon Jae-in has ordered a thorough investigation and strict handling of the Air Force non-commissioned officer sexual assault victim's death case, including issues related to the chain of command.

According to Blue House spokesperson Park Kyung-mi, on the 3rd, President Moon strongly instructed that the investigation agencies handle the perpetrator's crime with strictness in relation to this case.

President Moon said, "My heart aches when I think of the victim who must have felt despair," and emphasized, "There must be a strict investigation and measures regarding the handling within the unit after the victim's report, secondary harm by superiors and colleagues, neglect of the victim's appeals, and inadequate actions after the death."

He also instructed, "Do not view this issue simply as a relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, but also examine the chain of command, including the reporting and response process up to the highest superior, and handle it strictly."
