The National Intelligence Service and prosecutors said Chang at the orders of the department set up an underground network of veteran pro-democracy student activists with records of violating the National Security Law. They allegedly included a former member of the opposition Democratic Labor Party’s central committee, Lee Jung-hun, businessman Sohn Jung-mok, DLP vice secretary general Choi Ki-young, and another man identified by his surname Lee, all of whom are in custody.

Investigators believe Choi was the link among the former student activists -- members of the so-called 386 generation -- and was also in touch with Pyongyang. Choi, a leading student activist in the 1980s, has extensive contacts among politicians and labor organizations. He was an executive of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) and played a key role in establishing the DLP. He served time in jail for violating the law on demonstrations but was given W8.9 million (US$1=W950) in compensation from an official body called the Commission for Democratization Movement Activists' Honor-Restoration and Compensation in March this year. Lee Jung-hun, who took the lead in the three-day seizure of the U.S. Information Service building in Seoul in May 1985, was given W39 million by the commission in November 2001.
Read all about it:

or here
or if you're one of those Korean type people here <-- there's a chart that seems to explain what happened but I can't read it.
Seems pretty serious or is the Chosun Ilbo just blowing it out of proportion? I can't find out what kind of info they were passing but I guess that makes sense since it was supposed to be a secret.
And to the guys at the National Intelligence Service, nice work
"On Tuesday, the NIS arrested several prominent members of the so-called 386 generation of former student activists, and on Thursday it announced they are suspected of spying for North Korea." Is it actually old?
