The Korea Investigation Agency (KIA), scheduled to launch in October, held a recruitment briefing session, but there was a significant difference in interest between inspectors and investigators. About 500 investigators attended, showing high interest, while only about 50 prosecutors participated. This is because the move to the KIA could lead to demotion and the possibility of working in rural areas, making it less attractive to prosecutors. On the other hand, investigators are feeling anxious due to the abolition of the prosecution service and tend to seek a stable position through a transfer to the KIA. The KIA has promised to maintain existing salary levels and plans to allocate special activity expenses and specific task expenses at the same level as the existing prosecution.
