When the police raided the presidential office, the presidential office became busy.

Police are currently continuing discussions with officials in the presidential office over how to search and seizure, and there are also some disputes between the two sides.

I'm connecting with a reporter to find out more. Reporter Kang Min-kyung!

How are the raids going now, and who's here?

[Reporter]
At around 11:40 a.m., the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters Special Investigation Team arrived at the Presidential Office's Civil Service Office in Yongsan with blue boxes for seizure and search.

There are 18 police officers on the raid, but they have not been able to enter the presidential office building.

A special team official said that since the president's office is a security facility, consultations with the facility's director are necessary for the seizure and search.

The official said the president's office, the venue of the Cabinet meeting, the security office, and the secretariat are subject to search and seizure, and the Hannam-dong residence is not included.

The police and the presidential office are currently meeting in the presidential office's civil service office.

At around 1 p.m., reporters were also seen having a casual argument over who was in charge.

The police protested that the head of the presidential office was coming out too late and raised their voices, saying they were consulting the presidential office internally.

Currently, the police and the president's office are reportedly discussing specific methods of seizure and search, such as whether to conduct a search in the precinct or provide necessary data by voluntary submission.

President Yoon Suk Yeol, who continues his fourth day of chipping, has not been confirmed whether he is here in the presidential office.

The seizure and search of the presidential office seems to have progressed faster than expected.

What is the current atmosphere of the Yongsan staff?

[Reporter]
The president's office also did not expect a search and seizure of special copies to come in today.

Until just before the raid, the presidential office was as calm as usual, and many of the staff, including the senior level, went out for lunch.

As of now, when forced investigations are taking place, all of the staff are avoiding contact with the reporters.

Many of the staff members appeared to be prepared for the investigation, such as withdrawing from the Telegram account, a security messenger, early on.

However, as the seizure and search of the presidential office takes place a week after the martial law incident, the atmosphere is read that aides are rushing to come up with additional measures.

The raid by the presidential office is the first forced investigation targeting Yoon Suk Yeol's president since the emergency martial law broke out on the 3rd.

The investigation into President Yoon is expected to accelerate as Oh Dong-woon, the head of the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation department, also said earlier that it is possible to arrest President Yoon Suk Yeol in an emergency and will proceed if the situation arises.
