The National Assembly's National Defense Committee was followed by intensive inquiries from opposition lawmakers over President Yoon Suk Yeol's use of a military golf course.

Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun said that former President Roh Moo Hyun also played golf almost every week during the response process, which the opposition strongly opposed as an obvious lie.

In the plenary session of the National Assembly's National Defense Committee, the opposition party took issue with the timing of President Yoon's visit to the military golf course.

The day the president played golf was closed on August 8, and he was forced to open the door.

[Choo Mi-ae / Minjoo Party member: Is the president the king? Is this the place to order you to open the door according to my vacation schedule as you want to play? No.]
As much time was devoted to golf at the time of
, the president's office said it was wrong to announce that he had a "security vacation," including checking his security posture.

In response, Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun refuted that it was a security vacation as President Yoon spent time with the most struggling officer and non-commissioned officer-level soldiers.

He also claimed that there was a participant who showed tears in the rounding with the president.

[KIM YONG HYUN / Minister of National Defense] He said, "I played golf as if I won the lottery. It's an unforgettable honor." (The deputy) was teary-eyed.]

Minister Kim, in particular, even mentioned the late former President Kim Roh Moo Hyun, saying that the opposition's criticism is only a political offensive,

[Kim Yong-hyun / Minister of National Defense: Didn't President Roh Moo Hyun exercise almost every week? Did you just do it when you did it? [Team front and back, two or three teams were excluded, right?]

Opposition lawmakers called for an official apology, calling it a clear lie and defamation of a lion.

[Kim Min-seok / Democratic Party of Korea member: Please apologize, thinking that President Roh Moo Hyun is in front of you. (That's how you put it so often…).)]


The meeting ended with an apology after the National Defense Commission's passage of the bill, which did not budge on the fact that former President Roh played golf frequently.
