Seoul Reforms Counterintelligence Amid Criticism Over Political Influence
South Korea has formally dissolved its Defense Counterintelligence Command and replaced it with three new organizations, tasked with counterintelligence, military security, and national security investigations. The reorganization aims to eliminate the former command’s history of political involvement and restore public trust. The new organizations will handle duties previously concentrated in the former command, with a focus on transparency, professionalism, and countering espionage and terror threats. This development was first reported by UPI.
