As People Power Party lawmaker Shin Won-sik (65) was nominated as a candidate for Minister of National Defense on the 13th, suspicions that he distorted and manipulated the cause of the accident that killed a unit member during his military service surfaced again. Candidate Shin’s criticism of the opposition party with harsh remarks such as “Roh Moo-hyun, the first devil” at a conservative rally in the past is also expected to be discussed during the National Assembly’s personnel hearing. Candidate Shin, a former lieutenant general in the Army, is suspected of being involved in manipulating the cause of death of Private A, who died after being hit by a misfired mortar shell during joint air ground training with the 2nd Battalion, 21st Regiment, 8th Division, Pocheon Army, Gyeonggi Province, in October 1985, where he was the company commander, as an ‘unexploded ordnance accident.’ is receiving. At the time, the military investigative agency concluded that Private A died by stepping on an unexploded ordnance, but the Presidential Military Accident Truth Investigation Commission, which reexamined the case in October last year, made the opposite decision, stating that Private A’s cause of death was ‘death by an unexploded shell.’ released. The fact-finding committee’s decision said, “It was not possible to confirm who led the distortion and manipulation of the cause of death,” and “the commanders and executives of the deceased’s unit were responsible for commanding the accident by distorting and fabricating the deceased’s cause of death to mean that he died by stepping on an unexploded ordnance.” “It can be seen as an avoidance.” On the 27th of last month, Oh My News reported testimony to the effect that Candidate Shin, who was a company commander at the time, gathered his unit members together and ordered them to join the unit, saying, “Private A died from an unexploded ordnance.” Accordingly, Candidate Shin objected to the decision of the Truth Investigation Committee, saying, “The Truth Investigation Committee overturned the results of the investigation by the military investigative agency with only a small number of statements,” while filing a civil and criminal lawsuit against OhmyNews reporters and others. Candidate Shin’s ‘rough mouth’ is also expected to be on the chopping block again. Candidate Shin said at Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon’s prayer meeting in July 2019, when he was a reserve general, “The problem began when a man named Roh Moo-hyun, the greatest evil who gave birth to today’s devil called Moon Jae-in, became president.” In August of the same year, at a rally condemning the Moon Jae-in administration, he said, “Moon Jae-in is a handful of leftist scum,” and on September 21, at a Taegeukgi rally held in Busan, he mentioned the anniversary of the UN forces’ successful Incheon landing operation (September 15) and said, “ He said, “Because the UN forces succeeded in the Incheon landing operation six days ago, it is only a matter of time before Moon Jae-in is killed.” He also shouted the slogan, “Candlelight rebellion in 2016, Taegeukgi constitution in 2019.” Candidate Shin is also a person who has taken the lead in calling for the removal of the recently controversial bust of General Hong Beom-do at the Korea Military Academy. He claimed during the National Assembly audit in October of last year, “It is questionable why they bothered to erect a bust of this man who went to Lenin, received a pistol, and became a member of the so-called Soviet Army and asked the Korean Military Academy to make one.” Candidate Shin also criticized Park Jeong-hoon, the former head of the Marine Corps investigation team (colonel), who was accused of insubordination while investigating the Marine Corps Corporal Chae’s death in the line of duty, saying last month, “Have you decided to follow the path of a third-rate, low-quality politician?” On this day, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized him, saying, “He is not an appropriate person to be the Minister of National Defense just because of his profanity” (Supreme Council Member Seo Eun-sook, radio interview). Candidate Shin told reporters immediately after his nomination, “The internal and external security environment and various challenges are very serious. “I will do my best to create a soldier-like soldier and an army-like army,” he said.
