After the Presidential Security Service blocked Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest for more than five hours, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which was executed, withdrew.

The security service has maintained its position to take security measures in due course, which eventually physically put the brakes on the execution of arrest warrants.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Cho Yong-sung, can you tell me the current situation?

[Reporter]
The clashes between the security and airlift over the arrest of Yoon Suk Yeol's president lasted more than five hours and ended a little while ago.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit withdrew, saying they were concerned about the safety of the field personnel,
The
Security Department first blocked the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at the entrance to the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, where the National Assembly Speaker's official residence is located, and confrontation continued for a while in front of the main gate to the presidential residence.

The security agency claims that there was no physical fight in the process, contrary to previous reports.

Some were concerned that the military and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which had been guarding earlier, might have collided,
An official from the
Security Department said the military was not at the site of the confrontation in front of the main gate because it was only on the outskirts of the official residence.

Asked if the security service will continue to block its execution, another official replied that it seems to be still in talks, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has since decided to withdraw.

The airlift said it will decide after reviewing future measures, but it has not yet said how the bodyguard will respond to further warrant enforcement attempts.

Even before the execution of the warrant today, the security service did not explain the exact response policy, saying that security measures will be taken in accordance with due process.

While the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it would decide on future measures after reviewing them, it remains to be seen whether it will seek further arrest of President Yoon.

So far, I'm YTN Cho Yong Sung in the presidential office.
