[Financial News] President Lee Jae Myung emphasized at a senior secretaries’ meeting he chaired at Cheong Wa Dae on the 3rd, "The series of incidents that have occurred recently reveal that there are significant gaps in our public safety system." He added, "These incidents show that even when the vast majority of police officers are doing their best in the field, a major hole can emerge in the entire system because of the misconduct of an extremely small number of officers."
He continued, "The police must use this series of incidents as a mirror and pursue internal cleansing and institutional reform with a determination to undertake painful self-reform."
