Defense Ministry: Allegations of Desertion Against Minister Ahn Are False; Correction of Records Planned After Term A Ministry of National Defense official met with reporters today and said, "If he were to file a request for correction while serving as the Minister of National Defense, wouldn't it spark further controversy?" The official added, "He plans to file for correction and take additional measures once he completes his assigned duties and returns to a private citizen status." Regarding criticisms that Minister Ahn should disclose his military records to resolve the suspicions, the official explained, "If we disclose records that were incorrectly documented 40 years ago, wouldn't only the erroneous records remain in people's minds regardless of the facts? It would only fuel further misunderstandings, which is why they have not been disclosed." Minister Ahn's service period as a defense conscript was recorded as 22 months in his military service record, rather than the original 14 months, leading opposition parties to raise suspicions of desertion or detention in a military brig during his confirmation hearing in July of last year.
