The execution of the second arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol is expected to be led by the police, which seems to be looking at a number of possibilities regarding the method.
Police have also begun identifying those who obstructed the execution of the first warrant.

How do you expect the police to execute the arrest warrant?
[Reporter]
Yes, the police have previously expressed a strong will to execute the second arrest warrant, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has also acknowledged manpower limits, so the police are expected to lead the second execution in the near future.
According to what the members of the People's Power who visited Kook Soo-bon said today, it seems that the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit have not yet decided on the specific method of enforcement.
However, it seems likely to significantly increase the manpower compared to the first execution.
This is because the security service's resistance was strong at the time, and the guard was strengthened, with barbed wire being installed in the official residence within a few days.
It is expected that a large number of people with mobility and hands-on experience, such as the Criminal Task Force, will be deployed.
However, at a meeting with lawmakers of the People's Power today, Woo Jong-soo, head of the Noodles Division, said he is not considering mobilizing special forces, armored vehicles, or helicopters.
The execution schedule has yet to be confirmed, but some are raising the possibility of surprise enforcement at night on weekdays.
The police are also continuing public pressure on the security service, saying they are actively considering arresting them if the security service prevents them from executing the warrant again.

Also, the news just came out, and the police started identifying the people who blocked the execution of the first warrant at the official residence?
[Reporter]
Yes. A special police unit said today it sent an official letter to the security service asking them to identify the 26 people who interfered with the execution of the first arrest warrant.
Police said that once the identity is confirmed, they will decide whether to book the case or not by comprehensively considering the degree of participation and illegal activities by individuals.
It also said it will continue to identify additionally based on the results of reading the evidence data at the time of the first warrant execution.
There is also pressure on security officials.
Chief of Security Park Jong-joon was asked to summon the police twice, but all of them did not respond.
The police have requested a third attendance by tomorrow morning.
Kim Sung-hoon, deputy head of the security service, also did not respond to the summons twice until yesterday, so the police demanded a third appearance the day after tomorrow.
Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the security headquarters, and Lee Jin-ha, the head of the security and safety headquarters, have also been asked to attend the second round by the police.
The security service maintains its position to perform its security duties in accordance with laws and principles, so it seems unlikely that they will respond to the request for attendance.
There is also a possibility that the police will arrest security officials.
