During the 2023 Busan stabbing attack on President Lee Jae-myung, Kim Sang-min, the National Intelligence Service's legal advisor at the time, prepared a report recommending against designating the incident as terrorism. The NIS requested the police to share victim investigation details but was refused. Rep. Park Sun-won claimed the NIS was uninvolved in the incident frame shift. Additionally, a special audit discovered new materials related to the Ssangbangwool remittance to North Korea case, confirming intelligence that former chairman Kim Sung-tae and Ahn Bu-soo, chairman of the Asia-Pacific Peace Exchange Association, attempted stock price manipulation under the guise of inter-Korean business projects. In the West Sea civil servant killing case, evidence emerged that former President Yoon Suk-yeol received a self-conducted investigation report from former NIS Director Kim Gyu-hyun and issued an instruction to file charges.
