President Lee Jae-myung has ordered a rigorous investigation into allegations of external pressure in a drug investigation at Incheon Customs ahead of the new administration's first parliamentary audit. He instructed police and prosecutors to dispatch Inspector Paik Hae-ryong to a joint investigation team and directed Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office Chief Lim Eun-jung to add investigative prosecutors if necessary to uncover the substantive truth. Additionally, he emphasized the need for active cooperation from all government ministries regardless of political affiliation to prevent the national audit from becoming meaningless, demonstrating his resolve to correct wrongful practices from the Yoon Seok-yeol administration.
