Yes, that's correct. Non-commissioned officer candidates are also subject to the Military Criminal Act. The subjects to which this law applies are as follows:

① Republic of Korea military personnel (officers, warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers) *Excluding soldiers in transferred service

② Military civilian employees

③ Students and cadets of military schools with military registration, officer candidates, non-commissioned officer candidates, and students with military registration on active service under Article 57 of the Military Service Act

④ Reservists, supplementary service members, and wartime laborers serving on call

In addition, the Military Criminal Act applies to civilians unrelated to the military as if they were military personnel when committing crimes such as espionage, supplying harmful food to the military, and crimes against sentries.

In addition, the Military Criminal Act regulates the maintenance of military order and punishment for various violations occurring within the military.

To accurately understand legal procedures and respond systematically in military-related crimes, it is advantageous to consult a military criminal attorney with rich experience in handling related cases.

It is good to conduct careful consultation with a military criminal attorney to clearly identify legal issues and lead the case favorably.
