Choo Mi-ae said, "Noh Sang-won is suspected of intervening in defense projects...We need to investigate".

Rep. Choo Mi-ae, head of the Democratic Party of Korea's civil war fact-finding team, called for an investigation, raising suspicions that Roh Sang-won, a former intelligence commander suspected of being involved in the December 3 emergency martial law simulation process, was also involved in defense projects.

At a fact-finding team meeting, Choo claimed that the National Intelligence Service's budget of 50 billion won was urgently allocated to the Army unmanned reconnaissance aircraft project at the end of 2022, and that the defense industry, where the former commander Roh worked, was the domestic distributor for the Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle, which was decided to be introduced the following year.

He then pointed out that the NIS budget was called former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun's tag budget based on military intelligence reports and Defense Ministry data, and that the Army's intelligence operations chief, who pushed for the drone project, was a former counterintelligence commander Yeo In-hyeong.

Rep. Choo stressed that the government should immediately investigate whether the key leaders of the December 3 civil war were economic communities based on the defense industry.
