[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] On the 26th, a post claiming that an executive of a maritime police station in Gangwon assigned his son to his own unit was uploaded on the Facebook page 'Delivered on behalf of the Army Training Center'.

A, who identified himself as an active maritime police officer, claimed in the post, "The captain of a 500-ton vessel at the ○○ Maritime Police Station assigned his son to his own ship."

A explained, "There are duty police officers in the maritime police who fulfill the obligation of national defense," adding, "In military terms, it is like the battalion commander's son working in the same battalion, and in naval terms, it is like the captain's son serving on the same ship." He also claimed, "There are many rumors about duty police personnel assignments during this process, but within the maritime police, there is a hush-hush atmosphere."

He continued, "Am I the only one sensitive about this? I am curious about your thoughts," explaining the reason for writing the post.

In response, a maritime police official stated, "We are thoroughly investigating the overall facts regarding the report, and if any procedural violations are found, appropriate measures will be taken."

Netizens who received the report reacted with comments such as, "Is this even possible?", "Even if he comes, he should not be allowed," "It seems like he was favored because he is the son," and "Normally, assignments within the same unit are impossible."
