President Lee Jae-myung pointed out in a Ministry of National Defense work report that graduates of the Army Military Academy had staged military coups in the past, emphasizing the need to integrate the Army, Navy, and Air Force academies. The president cited the mistakes caused by the army's concentration of power and the problem of avoiding responsibility when coups occurred, arguing that integration could reduce these possibilities. He also cited the past state of emergency as an example, warning of the military's threat to democracy and adding that integration should prevent unforgivable acts.
