The police also said they investigated all 12 members of the State Council, including those who attended the "Ceremony State Council," except President Yoon Suk Yeol, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, and Unification Minister Kim Young-ho.

We are also considering additional investigations into some defendants, such as acting President Han Deok-soo and former Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min.

Director Park has a history of working with former intelligence commander Roh Sang-won in the Park Geun Hye government for presidential security, but it has been found that he has not contacted him since 2015.
