The ruling and opposition parties demanded structural improvement of the North Korean border system in connection with the incident that a North Korean man swam to the south while wearing flippers on the 23rd.
Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Min-ki said, “(Joint Chief of Staff) said that it would be transformed into a rebellion, but it should be stopped. This is a structural problem,” and urged the improvement of the GOP scientific border system and reporting system. Rep. Kim Byung-ki of the same party also pointed out that the boundary area of the 22nd Army Division, which has an open boundary, reaches 100km, including land and sea, saying, “It is 4 to 5 times wider than other divisions. The underlying problem needs to be resolved. Don’t you do it?” In response, Defense Minister Seo Wook responded, “It is true that the conditions for the 22nd Division’s vigilance operation are inadequate, and there are difficulties, including the malfunction of the scientific border system.”
The opposition party also raised their voices of criticism. Rep. Ha Tae-kyung said, “You should not punish soldiers who watched closed-circuit (CC) TV (at the time of defection). There are too many false alarms. That CCTV is a shepherd boy.” Rep. Kang Dae-sik of the same party asked, “Will the people easily convince the public that one of the 48 (drainage channels in the 22nd Division) (without inspection) was caught?” The Minister replied, “I did not find the (drainage), but it seems that I could have seen (a poor drainage) after coming (to the south).”
A battle between the opposition parties took place over the joining of the Democratic Party’s former defense minister, Park Young-seon, as the security advisory chief to the Seoul Mayor’s race candidate camp. Rep. Lee Chae-ik of People’s Strength criticized that “it is very inappropriate for the former minister, who has been retired for less than a year, to become the head of a specific candidate.” He said that after retirement, former Minister Jung is working as an advisory committee member of the Korea Defense Research Institute (KIDA), he said, “People in public institutions are semi-public officials. Even on the 20th, four active-duty public institution heads visited Park Young-seon camp,” he said. There is also,” he insisted.
