◇ Anchor> Chief Park, who defies the police investigation by claiming to be a presidential escort. He graduated from the police department as a senior and served as a police chief. He also served as deputy head of the Park Geun Hye government's presidential security office and is known to have once set his sights on politics. Let's look at the presidential security, what kind of organization is it and how it's organized. Under the decree of 'Unified Loyalty, Eternal Honor', we carry out our mission to ensure the absolute safety of the president and national factors. Security targets include the president and his family, the president-elect and his family, the former president and spouse, the acting president and spouse. In the early days of the founding of the country, the police were in charge of protecting the president. The police police station, which was established in February 1949, guarded former President Lee Seung-man, and after the April 19 Revolution in 1960, the Blue House Police Officer Dispatch, a member of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, replaced him. The current presidential security system was established shortly after President Park Chung-hee took office in December 1963. The Presidential Security Office Act was enacted, and the Presidential Security Office was launched as a government body. During the military regime, the chief of security wielded enormous power to "drop birds," but after democratization in 1987, he suffered ups and downs depending on the regime. The Moon Lee Myung Bak administration, which aims to be a "small government," downgraded it to a vice minister-level bodyguard under the presidential office, but upgraded it back to a minister-level bodyguard under the Lee Park Geun Hye administration, and became a bodyguard again in the Kim Moon Jae In administration, which entered after the "state affairs manipulation" incident.So far, 20 people have come to the position of the head of the bodyguard or chief, with 13 from the military, four from the bodyguard and three from the police. Previously, the Moon Jae In government considered entrusting the security work to the Presidential Security Service under the National Police Agency. The arrest warrant execution has sparked controversy again over the role and scope of the security service.

◇Anchor> We've told you about the change in status after becoming a bodyguard, but there's another saying that the presidential bodyguard should be removed after this incident.

◆Kim Sung-soo> If you want to get rid of the presidential security, it is possible to revise this part because the government organization law or the presidential security law is now based on these laws. However, in order to pass the current law, there are parts such as the consent of the majority in the National Assembly, right? The resolution itself can be made because only the number of opposition parties can vote by a majority. In order for the current law to be declared and implemented in the end, the president can exercise his right to request reconsideration if he has any objection to it, and if he exercises his right to request reconsideration, he or she needs more than two-thirds of consent. Therefore, there are situations in which the special prosecution law and such things have not yet been implemented, so if the acting president will exercise his right to request reconsideration when he submits an amendment on this part, we can tell you that we need to see in many ways whether what is being talked about in the National Assembly can be realized right away.

◇ Anchor> Since security is getting so tight around the presidential residence, the police are even mentioning the possibility that police commandos and criminal mobile units will be deployed if they are executed this time. How do you see the possibility of success?

◆Kim Sung-soo> I think we have to wait and see because they are discussing in advance, but it is impossible to execute an arrest warrant with the last manpower, that's what I see. As I said earlier, aren't you saying that you have installed four car walls by car? Then how are you going to break through this? Then last time, I pierced the front and the official residence well. What are you going to do when you're stuck over there? Then, as I said earlier, if the police have a very strong will to arrest the president, in the end, they have to take various tools, special tools, or specially trained police and have a large number of people. One of the biggest concerns we have as a people is that we don't have much trouble getting through the facts there after all. If a person with special police training enters. The possibility of any mishap happening right now at the meeting of man-to-man and person-to-person is the most problematic issue in the execution of arrests. But if the police really have a strong will to execute the arrest this time, in a way, they will start with the arrest of the people who are guarding them. That way, you have to start arresting them, and they don't follow the instructions from below. So in that regard, the police themselves are very professional. So I'll make a plan for those things as a whole and then if I think there's a chance of success, I'll go in then. We talked about the secret behind the investigation earlier. I personally remember that one of the things the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit did very wrong was that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit had never issued an arrest warrant and executed it. I may remember it wrong. But if you bring an arrest execution warrant, you say that the president would respond smoothly. That's not it. I had to set up plans A, B, and C, but there was nothing like that. Then, the police themselves are much less experienced than the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and have a lot of manpower. So, if you go into execution, if you don't succeed, not only the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit but also the police themselves will be severely hurt. So I think we have to wait and see about that.
