[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Please go in. Deputy Secretary of Defense, please come forward.
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
I'm the vice minister.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
A South Korean soldier brought a gun to the National Assembly to protect the country. The South Korean soldiers had to protect the country, but they dragged the lawmakers out and imprisoned them. Who is the one who ordered this?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
It's confirmed... Our Minister of Defense suggested something related and it was done with the approval of the President.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
What did the president say and ask you to pull him out?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
Yesterday, remarks on related questions at the National Defense Commission were announced in the media, so I am familiar with them.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
The Deputy Secretary of Defense speaks.
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
The commanders told the National Defense Commission that they were instructed to break the door and bring down the lawmakers.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
The commander of the Special Forces said. The president of Yoon Suk Yeol called himself and told him to break down the door of the National Assembly and bring it down, right?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
That's what I said yesterday.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
The Yoon Suk Yeol is a crime of rebellion that attempted to paralyze the functioning of the National Assembly. Is it right?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
I think you're responsible for that because you gave direct instructions like that.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Is he the commander-in-chief?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
According to the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, I recognize the commander-in-chief as the president.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Who flew a drone in Pyongyang?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
Senator, I hope you can understand that we cannot confirm that we have done that as we have done so far.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Who told you to hit the filth balloon from the ground up?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
As a result of confirmation so far, the Joint Chiefs of Staff has stated that it is not the case that they directly instructed the origin strike on the filth balloon.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Kim Yong-hyun flew a drone in Pyongyang, North Korea. They were provoking a war. Can Kim Yong Hyun decide alone in provoking this war? Can I decide on my own without the Yoon Suk Yeol's instructions?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
It is not a matter that the Minister can decide on his own to go to war.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
That's right. Then, if Yoon Suk Yeol remains the current commander-in-chief, it could put the Republic of Korea on the brink of war again. Then, should I leave this person as the commander-in-chief? Should we impeach him to suspend his duties immediately?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
As for that, we are not in a position where the Ministry of National Defense can prescribe anything about it.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
The Yoon Suk Yeol should protect our soldiers, but they told the soldiers to point their guns at the people. Do you still want to have someone like this as president?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
I don't think it was a legitimate order as president.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
So what should I do with this guy?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
I think if you are responsible for anything related to the law, you will be held accountable.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
And such a person should be arrested, arrested, suspended, impeached, and punished right away, right?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
I understand that related investigative agencies are now working on such things.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Bring down the lawmakers and detain them in a water radiation prison bunker, this happened, and a bunker picture comes out about it. I tried to detain a member of Congress in a place like that, folks! He was trying to take us to a place like that and detain us. Confess in this regard.
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
Yesterday, the agents involved said that there was such a thing.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Talk about it in detail once again. Can you do that or can't you?
[Kim Seonho/ Undersecretary of Defense]
No way.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Then we have to punish him, right?
[Kim Seonho / Undersecretary of Defense]
I think the relevant directive and those who did it will be held accountable again.
[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member]
Please go in.
