Police are increasing pressure on security services day after day ahead of the execution of a second arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president.

We are still agonizing over specific enforcement methods, and we will connect to the site to find out more about the situation. Reporter Shin Gwihye!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency.

The police are gradually increasing the pressure on the bodyguard?

[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.

The police said that if the identity is confirmed, they will decide whether to book or not by comprehensively considering the degree of participation by individuals and whether they will engage in illegal activities in the future, and further identification will be continued.

There is also pressure on security officials.

The police have asked Park Jong-joon, the head of the bodyguard, and Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the bodyguard, to appear for the third time, respectively, who did not respond to the request for attendance twice.

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 growing possibility that the police will arrest security officials.

How is the arrest warrant expected to be executed?

[Reporter]
Yes, it seems that the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit have not yet set a specific execution schedule and method for the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Cho Eun-hee, a member of the National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee, who visited the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters today, said Woo Jong-soo, head of the National Assembly's National Public Administration and Security Committee, said that although the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit had requested the police to consult, they had never consulted officially.

However, it seems likely to significantly increase the manpower compared to the first execution.

This is because the security service's resistance to prevent the execution of arrest warrants was strong earlier, and the vigilance was strengthened, with barbed wire set up at 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.

So far, I'm YTN Shin Gwihye from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
