Senior Advisor Oi Chul YUN graduated from the 3rd class of Korean National Police University and has accumulated extensive investigative experience through a wide range of senior leadership roles. His career includes service as Head of the Scientific Investigation Division and Head of the Violent Crime Division at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency; Chief of the Namhae Police Station in Gyeongnam Province; Founding Director of the Criminal Investigation Research Office at the National Police Agency; Chief of the Dongjak Police Station in Seoul; Director of the International Affairs Planning Division at the National Police Agency; and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau at both the Jeollabuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Police Agencies, the latter at the rank of Senior Superintendent General.

During his police service, Mr. Yun earned recognition as a pioneer of forensic science in Korea, most notably for cultivating the nation’s first criminal profilers. In 2000, he established the Scientific Investigation Division within the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and formally incorporated a dedicated profiling unit into the official organizational structure. Through criminal profiling grounded in behavioral analysis, criminal psychology, and crime-scene evidence, he led the advancement of scientific investigative methods and established himself as a leading authority in the field.

Drawing on his extensive expertise and knowledge accumulated over decades in forensic science and criminal investigation, Mr. Yun is expected to provide practical and effective advisory services in a broad range of complex criminal matters requiring a high level of professional judgment.
