Reports continue to emerge of corruption in the recently eliminated Defense Media Agency of the South Korean Army.

On Wednesday, Congressman Kim Kwang Jin of the country's National Assembly Defense Committee, charged that officials of the public relation's wing of the army, a longtime bastion for celebrities serving their mandatory enlistment, allowed K-pop star Rain and 10 other famous recruits to become PR agents without any paperwork.

"The Defense Media Agency and the Ministry of National Defense must be held responsible for these issues," Kim said at an official briefing on Thursday, according to eNEWS.

The congressman claims one Defense Media Agency official didn't even dare interview Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji Hoon.

"How can a deputy director dare to interview world star Jung Ji Hoon?" the intimidated army PR official reportedly remarked.

The South Korean army cleared Rain of all charges of inappropriate conduct earlier this month.

Congressman Kim claims these new damning details about the program are from a Ministry of Defense PR Agent management inspection report.

He says the report contains a whole host of problems not raised at Thursday's Ministry of Defense briefing, when the elimination of the Promotional Support Brigade was announced.

The Promotional Support Brigade was terminated last week, after an audit of the program brought on by footage captured by the news program "Scene 21,"

The footage appeared to show army agents wandering the streets out of uniform and consuming alcohol freely after performing at an army-sanctioned concert and captured singers Se7en and Sangchu of the group Mighty Mouth, both public relations officers, entering an erotic massage parlor.

"We have decided to close down the PR unit as a result of the audit held on PR agents," a Ministry of Defense spokesperson said at the press conference.

"We feel responsible for leaving the Defense Media Agency to cause trouble, and for not supervising the PR agents properly...the unit was meant to represent the military and foster morale, but it ended up harming the image of the military instead with its series of incidents, and drove down the morale of those soldiers currently serving their duties in their own units."

The army spokesperson also announced that nine soliders involved in the controversy would be disciplined for their conduct, eight of them severely.

But according to the army official, the loss of public trust was the worst consequence of the ordeal.

"The trust of the people [the Promotional Support Brigade] has lost that trust from the Korean people due to many incidents that have arisen," the spokesperson said.

All eligible males between the ages of 18 and 35 currently must enroll for between 21 and 24 months of army service in South Korea (the length of mandatory enrollment changes by several months depending on which branch of the military that they serve in) in a practice known as conscription.
