So far these are all just allegations, but it seems like the knives are out to make General Park an example of due to the current public backlash against him. I guess we will see what happens:
Gen. Park Chan-ju (L), commanding general of the Army’s 2nd Operational Command, speaks to reporters at the Defense Ministry in Seoul on Aug. 8, 2017, ahead of an interrogation by military prosecutors over allegations he and his wife have violated the human rights of soldiers assigned to serve at his official residence.

A four-star South Korean general and his wife have been accused of treating soldiers like “slaves,” prompting calls for measures to improve conditions for the nation’s conscripts.
Soldiers serving at Gen. Park Chan-ju’s official residence were ordered to remain on-call around the clock and wear electronic bracelets that vibrated whenever family members called on them, the defense ministry said.
They also had to pick up golf balls, take care of gardening, do laundry and chauffeur the couple’s children in a private car, the ministry said, adding it is still investigating other allegations.
Park’s wife also has been accused of treating the soldiers as though she was their commander and subjecting them to verbal and physical abuse. [Stars & Stripes]
