The name and face of the suspect in the case of dumping the damaged body into the Bukhan River after the murder have been released.
I'm Yang Kwang-joon, 38, a lieutenant colonel who graduated from the Korea Military Academy.
This is the first time that the personal information disclosure system has been disclosed since the introduction of the personal information disclosure system.
I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Ji Hwan!
The suspect's name and photo were released?
[Reporter] The personal information of the suspect in the
case of 'abandoning the body damaged by the Bukhan River' has been released on the police website.
The picture you see now is the so-called 'Mugshot' taken immediately after the arrest.
My name is Yang Kwang-jun, born in 1986.
He is a graduate of the Korea Military Academy and is scheduled to be promoted to a lieutenant colonel who worked in a unit under the Ministry of National Defense.
The victim who died was a 33-year-old female military officer A who worked in the same unit.
Earlier last week, the police decided to disclose their personal information, saying that the cruelty of the crime and the seriousness of the damage were recognized, and that there was enough evidence.Ms.
immediately protested the public decision and filed a lawsuit through an attorney.
It was a request for an injunction to prevent disclosure.
The court did not accept it, and accordingly, the police released Yang's personal information this morning, five days after the minimum legal grace period.
This is the first time that personal information of a suspect who is a soldier has been disclosed since 2010, when the personal information disclosure system was first introduced.
Some YouTubers even released mosaic-processed family photos with Yang's real name before the police were released, sparking controversy over private sanctions.

I see. The police see this as a premeditated crime due to conflict in their relationship?
[Reporter]
In fact, after Yang was arrested, the most interested was the motive of the crime.
Yesterday, the police released some of the investigation.
Yang, who has a family, and A, who is single, have been in an inappropriate relationship since the beginning of this year.
At the end of last month, Yang was transferred to the unit, and A, a term military officer, was about to expire, which was why they often argued.
It was the same on the day of the incident.
The two people, who came to work together by carpool, fought hard from the morning, which made it difficult for Yang to continue the relationship anymore.
And I immediately searched for fake license plates that could replace my SUV license plate.
And we met again in the car in the afternoon.
At this time, Yang strangled A with a wire-made laptop to prevent theft.
Later, the body was damaged at a nearby construction site using tools prepared by the unit.
The next day, he moved to Hwacheon, Gangwon-do, using a fake license plate made with A4 paper, and put stones in a plastic bag in the area of the Bukhangang River and threw them away with the body.Ms.
worked in the unit where she was transferred for a week after the abandonment.
During this period, he deleted mobile phone information, sent text messages to the victim's family, and impersonated the victim to a police officer who received a missing report and checked it.This is why the police believe that Ms.
planned and covered up the crime in advance.
Let's listen to the investigative police's explanation.

Your case records have been transferred to the prosecution, right? When and where will the trial be held?
[Reporter]
The charges that the police applied to Yang are murder, damage to the body, and abandonment of the body.
The case record was handed over to the prosecution yesterday morning.
The prosecution, which has been reviewing it, also plans to quickly hand it over to trial.
After arresting the criminal Yang from the beginning of this case, it was unclear whether the police would take charge of the investigation or the military police.
If A, who died, was a civilian right after the contract expired, the case would have been taken care of by the military police as it was a military crime.
However, on the 25th of last month, the day of the crime, the police took charge of the case under the revised military criminal law, treating the deceased A as an internal crime because he was a military officer.
As the police are in charge of the investigation, the first trial, which will be held after the prosecution's indictment, will also be held at the Chuncheon District Court's Criminal Agreement Department, not at the military court.
