An Army Second Lieutenant Who Repeatedly Used Abusive Language and Insurbordination Claiming His Grandfather Was a Corps Commander Affiliated with Hanahoe
Attempted Verbal Abuse and Assault on Former Senior Officer Results in Minor Disciplinary Action
[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] Allegations have been raised that a junior officer in an Army unit in the Gangwon region threatened soldiers and committed insubordination against senior officers.
According to posts on the Facebook page ‘Delivering Army Training Center News’ and an Army unit on the 14th, Second Lieutenant A, who was assigned to the unit last year, is said to have frequently threatened soldiers and officers by claiming that his grandfather was a corps commander affiliated with Hanahoe. The posts claim that he threatened soldiers by saying, “I can easily discipline someone like you, so behave well,” and created discord among the officers.
There are also allegations that he committed insubordination against senior officers. It is reported that he secretly smoked and drank alcohol in a senior officer’s room, and after being scolded by the senior officer, he held a grudge and attempted verbal abuse and physical assault. As a result of this incident, Second Lieutenant A received a minor disciplinary action.
Additionally, Second Lieutenant A reportedly ordered a soldier to cook ramen for him while on duty and under the influence of alcohol, which was reported to the unit.
The informant, Mr. B, stated, “Although I am a reservist who was discharged on the 30th of last month, I am reporting this for the future of soldiers, officers, and the military who will serve.”
