South Korea is facing an unprecedented crisis in which operational funds for frontline Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps units—as well as payments to defense contractors producing missiles and fighter jets—have not been deposited at year-end 2025.
The total amount involved is approximately 1.8 trillion won, prompting urgent frustration from military commanders and companies unable to meet obligations.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance attributes the delay to a late budget request from the Ministry of National Defense, while defense officials deny any such delay and suggest a possible glitch in the national treasury information system.
This breakdown has created a significant hole in defense readiness and sparked broader worries about fiscal management under the current administration, especially amid ongoing debates over budget priorities and spending discipline.
Society must pay close attention to this incident because it directly impacts national security capabilities and exposes potential weaknesses in the budgeting and payment systems that sustain the military.
When the machinery of defense funding fails at this scale, it raises fundamental questions about operational reliability and accountability.
If essential military payments stall even at year-end, does this reflect administrative oversight—or signal deeper structural problems in how the nation funds its defense?
