After the Dec. 3 emergency martial law was lifted, about 30 Army headquarters staff members tried to move from Gyeryongdae to the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Yongsan, Seoul, under the direction of martial law commander Park An-soo.

According to the data received by Rep. Baek Hye-ryeon of the Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Assembly's special investigation committee on charges of rebellion, at 10:47 p.m. on the 3rd of last month, Commander Park ordered the army headquarters personnel to be moved to Seoul using a non-fire phone.

As a result, 34 staff from the Army headquarters, including 14 general-level officers and 20 guard-level officers, headed from Gyeryongdae to Yongsan at around 3 a.m. on the 4th of last month, two hours after the resolution to lift martial law was passed by the National Assembly.

However, it was found that he was ordered to return to his unit 25 minutes after departure and returned to Gyeryongdae.

Representative Baek argued that the delay in returning to the unit was a part of the doubt that the second martial law was in mind.
