South Korea's Ministry of Science and Technology accuses a space research researcher who is planning to change jobs of leaking technology.

Suspicions have surfaced that a researcher from South Korea's Aerospace Research Institute (Aerospace Research Institute) transferred to a private company and took the technology with him. Aerospace Research Institute is a national research institute in charge of rocket development in South Korea. Science and technology information
The Ministry of Shinsei announced that it had conducted an audit of the Kouken Research Institute and charged four researchers with the public prosecutor's office on suspicion of leaking technology. On the other hand, the parties concerned argue that this is a ``researcher's practice''.
According to the South Korean science and technology community on the 30th, the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Information Communications recently conducted an audit of the Aerospace Research Institute, and the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Information Communication recently conducted an audit of the Aerospace Research Institute, and it is reported that
Prosecutors have filed charges against four Kouken researchers on suspicion of leaking technology. At the Aerospace Research Institute, former director Cho Kwang-rae, who was in charge of the development of the Naro rocket, submitted his resignation on the 12th of last month.
To date, approximately 10 people have requested to retire. Some of these are reportedly being audited by the ministry. Six people, including former Director Cho, left the company on the 20th of this month, but those subject to audit, including those planning to leave, are still being investigated.
It's inside. Those subject to the audit are suspected of removing hard disks and other items from computers at Kouken in Ota City, and of viewing many technical documents.
The ministry determined that they had violated the Industrial Technology Protection Act and the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, and asked the prosecutor's office to investigate. However, former director Cho and others
They claim that there is no basis for this. Former director Zhao said, ``I just removed the external hard disk, which I also did when I went to the Naro Space Center or to industry.Most researchers do this.''
He explained. He added, ``The results of the audit by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Communications and the measures to be taken have not yet been released,'' and added, ``No evidence of a technology leak has been found, and there are concerns that (the audit target) has not leaked any technology.''
This is an unlikely situation. We have no choice but to respond legally." The ministry said, ``It is true that we conducted an audit of the Aerospace Research Institute and requested an investigation into the relevant researchers, but the details are still pending in the audit.''
I can't make it public," he said.
