Received the result of public request for civil action’Give me my file’
As the NIS delivered the documents that the NIS inspected personnel of various fields at the time of the Lee Myung-bak administration, the temple at that time was drawing attention again. As a result of the JTBC interview, it was confirmed that the NIS at the time was asked to conduct a background investigation by all members of the ruling party as well as the opposition party. And it turned out that it was the Blue House of the Lee Myung-bak administration that made the request. In fact, suspicions are raised that it was not instructing a’political inspection’.

These are some of the documents related to Jeonbuk Superintendent Kim Seung-hwan made by the NIS during the Lee Myung-bak administration.
It is a situation that seems to have been inspected by civilians by classifying Superintendent Kim, who was a professor at the time, as an opposition person.
However, the data on December 16, 2009 shows that the request from the Blue House Civil Affairs Office was received by the NIS.
It is said that it is necessary to manage personal information on the ruling and opposition lawmakers in order to assist the VIP, that is, the President and to check the National Assembly.
There is also an explanation that the NIS requested to do it because there is a limit to doing it directly.
However, it is questionable whether the request from the Blue House Civil Affairs Office can only be viewed as a request.
Moreover, even at that time, such a request itself was illegal under the NIS Act.

Regarding, the part that even the senior civil servant’s office said it was a’sensitive matter’ also attracted attention.

This data came as a result of a request for information disclosure in consultation with Superintendent Kim from a civic organization calling for the facts of the NIS past.
However, other contents were delivered with the contents erased, so the organization is demanding full disclosure.
Meanwhile, as the group started its activities, recently, former President Roh Moo-hyun’s son-in-law, Kwak Sang-eon, also directly revealed that it has secured 16 documents from the NIS that inspected him.
Document titles revealed by Kwak range from planning family gatherings to reports on his political career.
There is also a document titled’The Blue House Daily Requests’, so it is necessary to confirm whether the Blue House of the Lee Myung-bak administration intervened in the family inspection of the former President Roh.
Currently, it seems that the NIS will focus on the disclosure of information and then initiate its own investigation on the details of the illegal activity.
