As the investigation into 13 suspicions surrounding lawmaker Kim Byeong-ki dragged on for 11 months, the Seoul Police Agency's Investigative Review Committee instructed the investigative team to "handle it promptly within one month." The investigative review committee reviewed whether the investigation into lawmaker Kim's case proceeded legally and made this decision to resolve the issue of prolonged investigation delays. While the investigative team is not obligated to follow the investigative review committee's instructions, it is expected to accelerate case disposition amid continued criticism. Lawmaker Kim is suspected of involvement in his second son's admission, receiving Korean Air lodging vouchers, and receiving special treatment for medical care at Boramae Hospital.
