When Seoul choose the F-35 over the F-15SE, it was promised a series of technology transfers in order to help develop the indigenous KF-X fighter. The transfer of four important technologies have since been blocked by the U.S. government.
The investigation is being conducted by the office of the senior presidential secretary for civil affairs. Its main job is to monitor the service records of high-level officials, carry out discipline and counter corruption. Rarely does the office investigate military affairs.
