Four members of the Korean University Student Progressive Union (Daejinyeon) who attempted to enter the presidential office in Yongsan were arrested on charges of infiltrating common buildings.

According to the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul today (4th), the four gathered in front of the presidential office in Yongsan at around 11:30 a.m. and shouted slogans such as "Prosecute Kim Gun-hee" and "Stop the veto of Kim Gun-hee" before trying to enter the presidential office through the back gate of the former Ministry of National Defense.

Police will investigate the details and reasons for the crime.

Earlier in January, Daejinyeon also attempted to enter the presidential office, and the police arrested 20 Daejinyeon members as current offenders.

At that time, the police applied for arrest warrants for 16 people, and the prosecution requested arrest warrants for 10 of them, but the court rejected them all, saying, "We did not plan or implement collective violence."
