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 in line with the current presidential status, and the police may arrest former Minister Park urgently.

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

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

Director of Security Park Jong-joon attended the police at 10 a.m. today and is under investigation for nearly eight hours.

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

Director Park responded to the police investigation after three requests for attendance.

It was found that he submitted a letter of resignation to Acting President Choi Sang-mok before attending, which Choi accepted today.

Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the security headquarters, who once refused to comply with the summons, was not present today.

The police said they sent a request for attendance on the 13th.

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, Director Park also expressed his position that he thought there would be a legal debate.

With the acceptance of Minister Park's resignation, the possibility that the security service will block the execution of the warrant under Minister Park's order has disappeared.

However, as the police have publicly warned the security office that they will arrest the current offender if they interfere with the execution of the warrant, there is a possibility that former Chief Park's charges are serious and may be arrested urgently.

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]
Yes. The National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency has notified the heads of the Metropolitan Police Agency's regional investigation team to gather at the National Police Agency by 2 p.m. today.

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.
