Regarding allegations that former Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min ordered some media companies to cut and cut power at the time of the December 3 emergency martial law, the fire chief ordered the Seoul Fire Department to "cooperate in case of a request for police cooperation."

Yoon Gun-young of the Democratic Party of Korea made the claim in an institutional report of a special committee on the investigation of the government in Yoon Suk Yeol, citing data received from the Seoul Fire Department.

Lawmaker Yoon said the fire chief called the head of the Seoul Fire and Disaster Headquarters at around 11:50 p.m. on the day of martial law to see if there was any request for cooperation from the police and ordered them to actively cooperate if there was a situation.

In response, Heo Seok-gon, the head of the National Fire Agency, avoided an immediate answer, saying he thought he would have had such memories if the head of the Seoul Fire and Disaster Headquarters had submitted the data.

Commissioner Huh previously told the National Assembly on the 13th that Danjeon and Dansu were not fire-fighting duties, so he did not give related instructions to his subordinates.
