Let me explain why a special investigation into Chae Sang-byung's death in the line of duty is necessary and how important it is.
There were many cases of mysterious deaths while serving in the military, but the truth has been repeatedly covered up. Therefore, the law was revised to prevent intervention and external pressure from superiors and to allow civilian police to investigate military deaths. However, the case of Chae Sang-byung's death in the line of duty rushed to retrieve the investigation records that were handed over to the police.
Kim Jung-min, a lawyer representing Park Jung-hoon, the head of the investigation's investigation team, raised suspicions, saying, "This is not just the president's anger, but rather for some reason. In summary, it seems that the investigation is the special prosecutor's responsibility." Below is a summary of the "Timeline for External Pressure on Investigations by the Marine Corps" published in the Hankyoreh newspaper dated April 26, 2024. The article was linked. The graphic quoted an article in the Hankyoreh newspaper.

2023. 7. 30.

▪ At 4:30 p.m., Park Jeong-hoon, head of the Marine Corps' investigation team, reported the results of the investigation to Defense Minister Lee Jong-seop along with Marine Corps Commander Kim Gye-hwan, and will hand them over to the police on charges of manslaughter on duty. Minister Lee Jong-seop readily agreed.
▪ A Marine colonel dispatched to the National Security Office of the President asked Park Jung-hoon for a copy of the minister's approval, but Park refused
▪ Commander Kim Kye-hwan ordered to send 'data scheduled for press briefing', and General Manager Park Jung-hoon sent this data to the National Security Office
▪ At 6 p.m. and 6:15 p.m., there was a call between Commander Kim Gye-hwan and Lim Ki-hoon, the National Security Office's defense secretary

2023. 7. 31.

▪ A meeting of senior foreign and security advisers was held in the presidential office in the morning, presided over by President Yoon Suk Yeol
▪ At 9:53 a.m., Commander Kim Gye-hwan and Lim Ki-hoon, the National Security Office's defense secretary, spoke on the phone
▪ At 11:45 a.m., he called Defense Minister Lee Jong-seop through the general phone call of the presidential office, which begins with '02' (this is the key)
▪ At 11:57 a.m., Minister Lee Jong-seop ordered commander Kim Gye-hwan to cancel a press briefing on the results of the investigation. The defense minister reversed his approval in a day, but the only way to explain this unusual situation is a phone call from the president's office
The president is virtually the only one who can reverse the minister's approval in a day
▪ Commander Kim Gye-hwan informed General Manager Park Jung-hoon to cancel the press briefing. General Manager Park Jung-hoon stated his conversation with Commander Kim Gye-hwan as follows
- Head of the investigation "What the hell is wrong with the Ministry of Defense?"
- Commander "There was a mention of the results of the first division's investigation during a meeting presided over by the VIP (President) in the President's Office this morning, and this happened after the VIP spoke to the Minister in a furious rage."
- "Are you sure you're a VIP?"
- Commander "Right." (Nodding)
▪ At 3:18 p.m., Yoo Jae-eun, a legal official at the Ministry of National Defense, called Park Jung-hoon and pressured him to "limit the investigation to those with direct negligence," Park Jung-hoon said

2023. 8. 2.

▪ From 10:30 a.m. to 11:50 a.m., the Marine Corps investigation team transferred the case records to the Gyeongbuk National Police Agency
▪ At 11:13 a.m., Defense Minister Lee Jong-seop instructed the Ministry of National Defense's prosecution to investigate Park Jung-hoon in protest
▪ 11:46 a.m. and 11:52 a.m. Yoo Jae-eun, the Ministry of National Defense's legal officer, contacted Commander Kim Gye-hwan
▪ At 12:40 p.m., the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency informed the Gyeongbuk National Police Agency that the Ministry of National Defense wants to retrieve the case records. Prior to this, the National Investigation Headquarters received a call from a police administrator dispatched to the office of the presidential secretary for public discipline.
▪ At 12:50 p.m., Lim Jong-deuk, the second deputy chief of the National Security Office, called Commander Kim Gye-hwan
▪ A minute later, at 12:51 p.m., a Marine colonel dispatched to the National Security Office called Kim Gye-hwan, the chief of staff to the commander
▪ At 12:55 p.m., Commander Kim Gye-hwan and Yoo Jae-eun, the Ministry of National Defense's legal officer, spoke again
▪ At 1:50 p.m., Yoo Jae-eun, a legal officer, said he would call the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency and retrieve the case records
▪ At 2:40 p.m., the head of the prosecution of the Ministry of National Defense held a meeting to retrieve the case records
▪ At 3:56 p.m., Lim Jong-deuk, the second deputy director of the National Security Office, called Commander Kim Gye-hwan again
▪ Lee Si-won, secretary of public service discipline at the presidential office, called Yoo Jae-eun, attorney general, late in the afternoon. Not only the National Security Office but also the Office of Secretary of Public Service Discipline moved in an urgent manner. Lee Si-won, a former prosecutor, is a key confidant of President Yoon Seok-yeol.
▪ At 7:20 p.m., the Ministry of National Defense's prosecution team recovered the case records from the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency

2023. 8. 9.
▪ The Defense Ministry will hand over the case records recovered from the police to the Defense Ministry's investigation headquarters for review. Justice Minister Yoo Jae-eun delivers a document titled "Review Report on the Results of Marine Corps Investigation" to the investigation headquarters, which contains logic that encourages the ministry to reduce the number of people responsible.

2023. 8. 21.

▪ In the end, according to this logic, the investigation headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense excluded high-ranking commanders, including division commander Lim Sung-geun, and only indicated the charges of two battalion commanders among the eight suspects, and re-confirmed them to the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency on August 21
▪ Lim Seong-geun, head of the division, completely denies his responsibility. However, a series of testimonies by military officials and surviving soldiers suggesting that Lim should stop the search operation at a time when the current situation is intensifying due to heavy rains, have continued to show that he ignored the recommendation
▪ The Ministry of National Defense handed over only two battalion commanders to the police on charges of professional manslaughter except for Lim, who pointed to Lim as the head of the division, saying, "There is no battalion commander who arbitrarily performs his duties without orders from superiors."
