  "summary": "Korea IT Times reports that LIG Defense & Aerospace (LIG D&A) CEO Shin Ik-hyun has denied corporate involvement in a defense procurement bribery scandal involving a DAPA official. During a parliamentary audit, Shin stated that it would be structurally impossible to raise 300 million won through the company's official financial procedures, denying any corporate wrongdoing. The controversy led DAPA to impose a 24-month ban on LIG D&A's participation in public procurement bidding.",
