National Assembly Intelligence Committee Holds Full Meeting

The National Assembly's Intelligence Committee held a closed-door plenary session on the 26th. The meeting, chaired by Chairman Shin Sung-beom, took place at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul. Details of specific agenda items discussed remain undisclosed.

The Intelligence Committee plays a crucial role in overseeing intelligence agencies, including the National Intelligence Service and the Defense Intelligence Command, and handling information related to national security. Composed of lawmakers from both the ruling and opposition parties, the committee regularly holds plenary sessions to review the activities of intelligence agencies and determine necessary policies.

Due to the sensitive nature of the national security information it handles, the Intelligence Committee strictly limits the external disclosure of meeting content. Meeting minutes are generally kept confidential, although portions may be released as needed.

Regarding this meeting, an Intelligence Committee official stated, "Given that sensitive national security matters were discussed, it is difficult to disclose specific details."

In related news, the special prosecutor has requested a 15-year prison sentence for former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo. The court announced that the first trial sentencing will be held on January 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM. In his final statement, former Prime Minister Han claimed that he reacted very seriously when former President Yoon mentioned martial law.

Allegations have also been raised that Kim Keon-hee mentioned matters related to the investigation of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Kim Myeong-soo to Minister of Justice Park Sung-jae, but the veracity of these claims is currently unconfirmed.
