This study aims to discuss ways to improve the information disclosure system centered on the Freedom of Information Act by analyzing the revision history of the Act and interviewing information disclosure experts. First, the study analyzed the revision history and contents of the Act from its enactment to today. It found that although positive amendments have been made in terms of expanding the right to know, they have been limited to operational aspects, and no amendments have been made to the criteria for determining information subject to disclosure. The interview was organized into three areas: achievements, problems, and improvements of the Act. The analysis was conducted by breaking down the content of each area and organizing it into themes. In conclusion, the study proposed eight recommendations for improvement, including expanding the scope of information disclosure, categorizing the information to be disclosed, securing a procedure for appealing the non-disclosure of information, increasing the effectiveness of the committee, introducing penalties and disciplinary regulations, establishing an Information Disclosure Appeals Tribunal, establishing systematic controls to prevent misuse of the right to request information, and merging the Public Data Act with the Freedom of Information Act.

This study set out to compare and analyze the understanding of the event centered around its nature as "an impeachment event as a public activity" and the records related to it. For that purpose, the study attempted to analyze the impeachment event to understand it as a public activity and examined and analyzed the records of the impeachment event in the public domain through personal visit, phone interview, and request of information disclosure based on the analysis results. An impeachment event as a public activity can be understood as an activity carried out by the National Assembly, which is to issue a motion for impeachment under the norms of the nation's impeachment system, and Constitutional Court, which is responsible for impeachment trial, through their unique rights prescribed in the Constitution. The important subjects of such a public activity included the accused president, the acting presidential system created by the motion for impeachment, and the National Election Commission that provided a decisive ground for impeachment. It was confirmed that the records, which are legal requirements, were well created and have been preserved and managed in the public domain. However, it was difficult to conclude that the records of the impeachment event were thoroughly created in terms of content in relation to affairs as they mainly covered the superficial treatment processes and the results of explicit activities. There was, in particular, the absence of records showing the context of activity.
