A recent report on the South Korean army has suddenly increased the purchase of body bags in the period Yoon Suk Yeol The declared martial law brought some chilling speculations.
According to a local media and a legislator, the military purchased a substantially greater number of bags for the usual around December 3, when the president now suspended Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law. MBC According to the evening of March 18 that the army had 4,940 bags in December 2024, but the number was 1,826 in November. The data provided by the representative. Choo me ae Of the Democratic Party of the opposition in Korea it also shown that in the course of 2024 the army had less than 2,000 bags for December at hand, when it increased by over 3,000.
After this report has become public, the army explained that the extra body bags were residual orders made before, but they were just delivered in December “In accordance with the five -year plan of the army made in 2022. “ The five-year plan in question refers to the defense budget of 2023-2027 which outlined the expenditure plan for ₩ 331 trillion of KRW (about $ 227 billion of dollars) on military infrastructures, including the acquisition of anti -inealistic missiles against the ballistic missiles of North Korea. The plan did not mention the increase in the stock of body bags, nor were there public ads on other long -term military plans.
MBC also stressed that the military deaths of South Korea are less than 100 per year, further raising the questions about why the army suddenly needed such a large amount of bags.
In particular, it was also reported that a military official of the Army Corp contacted a civil society that produces cardboard coffins to investigate the system potentially of 1000 temporary coffins. According to reports, the official in question asked how long the order would have employed, explaining the situation as “What if 3000 people died, for example? “
The purchase of the coffins, however, has never passed. The II Corp. stated that the investigation was made after a discussion within the military on the potential battle deaths during the exercises of ulchi-books of South-US Korea last year. The purchase plan was apparently demolished for practical reasons.
The Choo representative, however, continued to raise questions about these threatening purchases about his social media account. He said that the purchase by the army of over 3,000 Body Bags in the same period of the Yoon martial law decree was proof that the people involved in the plot were preparing for a large number of victims in the context of expected military domain.
The insurrection forces were not just dreaming (doing) evil. They completely prepared for this … this shows their horrible murderous intent.
– Rep. Choo Mi ae
Rep. Choo mentioned the military data on her Facebook Account, which has shown that the army has had less than 1900 body bags in stock in the last four years. In December 2021, the number was 1,106; In 2022, they were 1,565; And in 2023, he climbed to 1,890. The army also told her that these orders are made only once a year.
Although it is not clear if the body bags were acquired before Yoon declared martial law or if it were linked to its plan of military rules, some fear that it could be connected to the silly bone plan designed by Noh Sang wonThe former Commander of the Corean Defense Intelligence Command (organization for military intelligence). Noh is accused of having conspired with Yoon in the plot of martial law. During the investigation, the authorities found the NOH notebook containing plans for the “collection” of more people.
The notes, labeled as “objectives to be collected”, listed the names of the explicit critics of the Yoon government. These included supporters of civic groups and unions, ex and historical judges and even high -profile liberal politicians such as the president of the Democratic Party Rep. Lee Jae Myung and former president Moon Jae In. The latter two, together with other representatives of the political party, were classified as “Level collection objectives”.
The notes have also declared the different methods for the treatment of these objectives: “Accident, gas, explosion, sinking while you are on the road for the collection point. ” As for enough, one of the “collection” points mentioned in the notes was the village of Oeum-Ri in Hwacheon, where there is a regiment of the II Corp.
In the meantime, the Constitutional Court has delayed its verdict on the process of the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, unleashing anxiety and indignation in the Korean public.
