Police are increasing pressure on the bodyguard prior to the execution of the warrant.

He demanded the security service to identify dozens of people who had prevented the execution of the first arrest warrant and warned that he would decide whether to book them after judging whether they were illegal in the future.

People dressed in black flock to the presidential residence of Yoon Suk Yeol in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

There are also physical fights around the bus that blocked the road.

This is a video from the time when the Emergency Security Joint Investigation Headquarters attempted to execute the first arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol on the 3rd.

Police said they asked the security service to identify 26 people who interfered with the execution of official duties based on the data collected at the time.

Police said at the time that they will decide whether to book the case by comprehensively considering not only the degree of participation in illegal activities but also whether or not to commit illegal activities in the future.

It is believed that the police, who said they would consider arresting a current offender for obstructing the execution of public affairs if they prevented the second warrant from being executed, have repeatedly sent warning messages to security officials.

The police continued to pressure the head of the security service.

Park Jong-joon, the head of the bodyguard, was asked to appear by 10 a.m. tomorrow (10th), and if he refuses to comply, he is expected to apply for an arrest warrant immediately.

An official at the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters said he did not think that the security officials were arbitrarily preventing the execution of the warrant, which is seen as a warning that they could be punished unfairly by following unfair instructions from the leadership.

As the police stepped up pressure on the security service, Yoon Suk Yeol's lawyers responded by requesting the disclosure of background check information on 150 people, including prosecutors and police, who were mobilized to execute the first arrest warrant.
