Woo Jong-su, head of the National Police Agency's National Security Headquarters, stated on the 5th regarding the travel ban on Minister of National Defense Kim Yong-hyun, "If necessary measures are required today, we will thoroughly review them."
On the same day, Director Woo responded to Rep. Kim Seong-hoe of the Democratic Party's remark at the National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee plenary session that "there is a concern that Minister Kim might flee abroad."
Rep.
