Chief of Security Park Jong-joon, who is accused of obstructing the execution of arrest warrants for President Yoon Suk Yeol, attended the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters after three summonses.

Minister Park stressed that the investigation process should be carried out suitable for the current presidential status, and the police may arrest Minister Park urgently.

Park has responded to the 3rd request for attendance, right?

[Reporter]
Chief of Security Park Jong-joon attended the police at 10 a.m. today.

Director Park is accused of obstructing the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol on the 3rd.

Earlier, the police notified Director Park Jong-joon of his attendance on two occasions, but Director Park did not respond, saying that it was a time when security was severe or that he had not yet appointed an attorney.

The police have also considered applying for an arrest warrant if Minister Park does not comply with the third summons.

The police also asked Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the bodyguard division, to appear by 2 o'clock today for refusing to comply with the summons, but Lee was not present.

Director Park's position is that the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon was wrong, right?

[Reporter]
In order to prevent bloodshed, Minister Park said he has asked Acting President Choi Sang-mok and President Yoon's lawyers for a third alternative, not the execution of arrest warrants.

He insisted that the investigation process should be carried out suitable for the current presidential status.

I'll listen to your remarks.

[Park Jong-joon / Presidential Security Service Director: I don't think it's the current procedure for executing arrest warrants. I hope that the investigation process will proceed appropriately to the president in accordance with Korea's national prestige.]

When asked by reporters whether the arrest warrant was legally issued, Minister Park also expressed his position that he thought there would be a legal debate.

In fact, it seems that they have no intention of cooperating with the execution of the second arrest warrant.

Earlier, the police had publicly warned the security office that they would arrest the current offender if they interfered with the execution of the warrant again.

There is also a possibility that Director Park may be arrested urgently during the investigation.

The police summoned the heads of the metropolitan area's regional investigation team ahead of the execution of the second arrest warrant for President Yoon?

[Reporter]
The National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency notified the heads of the Metropolitan Police Agency's regional investigation team to gather at the National Police Agency by 2 p.m. a little while ago.

It seems that the leaders of the optical team were brought together today to discuss detailed plans ahead of the execution of the second arrest warrant.

There are more than 1,000 people in the four metropolitan areas, including Seoul, southern Gyeonggi, northern Gyeonggi, and Incheon.

It was found that the validity of the second arrest warrant was about two weeks, about a week longer than the previous warrant, and the police are expected to discuss a detailed warrant execution plan with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

So far, I'm YTN Shin Gwihye from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
