◇ Anchor> Director of Airborne Oh Dong-woon mentioned yesterday that if he interferes with the arrest warrant, the lawmaker can also be arrested. Do you think this is justified?

◆Kang Sung-pil> It's an obstruction of the execution of special public affairs. In any case, active lawmakers are not allowed to arrest unless they are caught red-handed, but this can be regarded as a red-handed crime on the spot, so they can be arrested sufficiently. And I know that the legal interpretation has already been completed. And above all, the members of the People's Power have already signed that they will give up their immunity from arrest while participating in this general election, and it was also on social media. That's why I believe that members of the People's Power will make a wise judgment.

◇Anchor> The chairmen of the People's Power Cooperation Committee have formed an anti-impeachment meeting, and they are visiting their official residence every day. How do you see this in the sugar?

◆Park Min-young> Basically, no one says that it is aimed at interfering with the public execution of investigative agencies, whether it is members of the People's Power or the chairman of the Outside Party Cooperation Committee. The lawmakers even went to the front of the residence and said, "Let's meet and have dinner with the president," but they all refused, and clearly said that they had never contacted the president and had never met. Wouldn't the National Assembly members of the People's Power go to the front of their official residence without knowing that the immunity of arrest does not apply to current offenders? Since I didn't go to protect the president in front of his residence in the first place, I don't think it's an appropriate matter to question the possibility of arrest. I also think it is a personal political judgment that the chairmen of the party's cooperation committee and the chairmen of the outside committee visit. Because there are many opinions, but it is also true that there are public opinions pointing out the illegality of the presidential arrest warrant execution process, so I think it is an individual free issue to respond to it as a politician.
