Early life
Career
Won Na-Kyung was recruited by the police under the Special Recruitment Scheme for a lawyer's license and became a Police senior superintendent at a fairly young age. She led the investigation into several violent crime cases, and from 2017 to 2018, she was in charge of investigating those involved in corruption and confidential leaks in the Park Geun-Hyun administration. Won Na-Kyung was the head of the police's investigation into the alleged stock price manipulation and witness murder of the Ryuhan Group, which is considered a failed police investigation, in 2015. However, the case is controversial because of the alleged involvement of higher police and government agencies than Won Na-Kyung.
