The Central Regional Military Court earlier delivered a first trial verdict acquitting former Marine Corps Investigation Unit Commander Colonel Park Jeong-hoon, who was charged with insubordination and defamation of a superior officer related to the death of Corporal Chae in the Marine Corps.

Colonel Park was indicted by the Ministry of National Defense prosecution on October 6 of the same year on charges of insubordination for not following the order of then Marine Corps Commander Kim Gye-hwan to withhold transferring the investigation results of Corporal Chae's death, which occurred on July 19, 2023, to the civilian police.
