The prosecution's special investigation headquarters, which is investigating the emergency martial law incident, has started to secure the whereabouts of Special Forces Commander Kwak Jong-geun.
We will also seek an arrest warrant for Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command, within today, but the military investigation is speeding up.
Let's connect with the reporter and listen closely. Reporter Kim Chulhee!

The special case requested an arrest warrant for Commander Kwak.
[Reporter]
Yes, the special prosecution requested an arrest warrant for Commander Kwak at around 10 a.m.Commander
Kwak was involved in the deployment of the 707 Special Task Force, also known as the 'decapitation unit', to the National Assembly at the time of the declaration of the emergency martial law.Commander
was investigated by the special prosecution on the 9th and 13th, and the process of securing recruits began in two days.
The special investigation will also seek an arrest warrant for Lee Jin-woo, commander of the water defense command, within today.
The prosecution arrested commander Lee the day before when he refused to comply with the investigation, and called him a day later to conduct a high-intensity investigation.
In the process, he reportedly secured a statement from the president at the time of the emergency martial law that he had been " instructed to bring down lawmakers."

The investigation of major military generals involved in martial law seems to be nearing the end.
[Reporter]
Yes, so far, the prosecution has secured or attempted to secure four suspects.
Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun has already been arrested and is under investigation every day.
Yeo In-hyeong, the former counterintelligence commander, was also arrested after giving up his review of the arrest warrant.
After that, if Lee Jin-woo, commander of the water defense command, and Kwak Jong-geun, commander of the Special Warfare Command, are secured, all participants who attended the so-called mission meeting will be arrested.
Among the major military officials, Park An-soo, the commander of martial law, who was investigated yesterday, seems to be starting to aim at the president.
However, the attitude of former Minister Kim, who recently refused to make a statement, is considered a variable.
As the prosecution judged the president as the head of the civil war, the refusal of the key person's statement could affect it.
Currently, the prosecution is calling former Minister Kim back to investigate from 2 p.m., and Kim is reportedly exercising his right to refuse to make a statement today.
So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee from the Special Investigation Headquarters of the Prosecution Service.
