Controversy over excessive response to the president's golf coverage...Police, "No coercion".

Police investigating the incident say there appears to be no coercion in the process, amid controversy over the presidential security's overreaction to a CBS reporter who covered President Yoon Suk Yeol playing golf.

An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said at a regular press conference today that the reporter said his cell phone had been taken away, but I understand that there was no such coercion in the process of checking by the bodyguard.

In response to the claim that he also forced the deletion of mobile phone photos or videos, the official said, "The bodyguards can demand them arbitrarily as they do their job as judicial police officers," adding, "I understand that they took action because they judged that there were harmful factors in the security area."

In this regard, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency explained that no one has been booked yet, but that it has assigned the case to the Criminal Task Force.

Regarding a CBS reporter's arrest by security officials while covering the scene where President Yoon played golf at a military golf course on the 9th, the CBS branch of the National Press Labor Union said that the filming location was not inside the golf course, but outside the fence, and two days after an apology to the public, the president's golf, the commander-in-chief, is enough to cover in a situation where the entire military is in emergency.

In response, the Presidential Security Service said that it was a legitimate measure by checking whether unidentified people were trying to track them down and handing them over to the police.
