South Korean President Lee Jae-myung requested the Ministry of Defense on the 5th to speed up the integration of military academies in order to reduce the risk of the South Korean military interfering in politics and prevent another military coup. While listening to work reports from the Ministry of Defense and other departments at the presidential office Cheongwadae on the same day, Lee Jae-myung said that the three military coups in South Korea's history were all related to graduates of the Army and the Army Cadet Academy, but this school has never been held to account, so there is a risk that the same mistake will be repeated. He believes that each military branch in South Korea should not set up separate military academies, but should integrate them into one military academy.
