, ‘The conflict between Commander A and Lieutenant Colonel B of the Armed Forces Intelligence Command began in May and June.’,
,
, ‘Controversy arose when Commander A ordered Battalion Commander B to stop supporting the civilian organization’s overseas office, which was ignored by Lieutenant Colonel B.’,
,
, ‘Shortly thereafter, Commander A reported Lieutenant Colonel B’s insubordination to the Ministry of National Defense’s Investigation Headquarters, leading to an investigation. In return, Lieutenant Colonel B filed for assault and abuse of authority charges against Commander A.’,
,
, ‘In the accusation, Lieutenant Colonel B claimed that Commander A instructed his aide to monitor his commuting patterns and that there was no insubordination in the June report process.’,
,
, ‘It is highly unusual for active duty generals in the military to engage in legal disputes against each other.’,
,
, ‘In some quarters, there is speculation that the conflict escalated due to the difference in rank, with Commander A being a senior by 3 years in the army than Lieutenant Colonel B.’,
,
, ‘This comes after a military officer from the intelligence command was arrested for leaking the personal information of black agents collecting intelligence, sparking a scandal.’,
,
, ‘[Lee Sung-gwon / Ruling Party Representative Member (Information Committee) : It appears that the Intelligence Command has taken three measures to minimize damage. The first is to immediately recall personnel deployed abroad.]’,

, ‘Amidst this, concerns about internal tensions and discipline are growing as the high-ranking officers within the intelligence command continue to clash.’,
,
, ‘The Armed Forces Intelligence Command is involved in sensitive missions such as overseas and North Korean intelligence operations, with most of its tasks considered confidential and emphasizing security to the extent that they are hardly known even within the military.’,
