So what is this National Intelligence Service controversy these netizens are talking about? Here is a quick summary of what happened.

This month, South Korea’s National Intelligence Service was revealed to have purchased a hacking program called RCS (Remote Control System) from Italian hacking team. After being caught, all of the emails regarding the purchase were released to the public.

Since then, the Korean National Intelligence Service has admitted purchasing the hacking program from Italy. But the real cause for concern is whether if the hacking program was targeted to use against its own Korean people or other foreign countries such as North Korea. The NIS has since released an official statement that they were planning to use it against foreign countries and never planned to use it against its own people.

But one thing that stood out in one of the emails that went back and forth is that NIS has asked if the hacking program was able to used through Kakao messenger (Korea’s #1 messenger app). Since then, the Korean people have been seeking the truth in regards to the National Intelligence Service controversy.

But a couple days ago, a National Intelligence Service employee was reported to be found dead due to alleged suicide. After many reports emerged, netizens have unraveled something odd about the photos released on the news.

If you compare the photo at the scene of the suicide, the vehicle has a black bumper and a green license plate. The video footage of the vehicle that was last seen heading that direction shows that the vehicle had a white license plate. The police has since then explained the different color in the license plate as a result of light reflecting and thus creating an illusion.

Here is the zoomed version of both cars.

And netizens claim the antenna in the middle cannot be found in one of them as well.

[ +4217 / -11] The two cars are completely different~ Government thinks citizens are all retards

[ +3702 / -11] I guess the National Intelligence Agency cars can change license plates with a click of a button… That is more convincing. Claiming that there is a light reflection at 6 through 7 PM…

[ +3233 / -12] Why. This situation just shows me how cops are literally pets of the higher ups.
