[On-site video+] Director of Security Park Jong-joon said, "Current arrest proceedings are unfair..."You have to proceed according to the national character."

Park Jong-joon, head of the National Security Agency, who is accused of obstructing the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, attended the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters after three requests from the police.

Let's go to the scene.

[Reporter]
What will you clarify in today's investigation?

[PARK JONG JUN / Chief of Presidential Security]
First of all, I know that many people will be worried about the current conflict and confrontation between government agencies. In order to prevent such a situation, I have called Acting Chief Choi Sang-mok several times to suggest mediation between government agencies, and asked the president's lawyers for a third alternative, thinking that no physical conflict or bloodshed should occur in any case. But we didn't get the right answer. I believe that the investigation process should be carried out in accordance with the status of the incumbent president. I don't think it's the current procedure for executing arrest warrants.

I hope that the investigation process will proceed appropriately to the president in accordance with Korea's national prestige. And I decided to respond to the police summons from the beginning, but the defense team's preparation was delayed a little, so I responded today. If the police refuse to summon the police and do not get investigated, who will be investigated by the police? I think we should respect the police's status as an investigative agency. Today, we will reveal all the contents in detail and sincerely investigate. Thank you.

[Reporter]
Do you admit to the charge of obstructing the execution of special public affairs?

[PARK JONG JUN / Chief of Presidential Security]
I will explain the details in detail during the investigation process.

[Reporter]
Are you not planning to continue cooperating with the execution of arrest warrants?

[PARK JONG JUN / Chief of Presidential Security]
I don't think it's appropriate for me to tell you the contents during the investigation process, and to tell you those contents here.

[Reporter]
The arrest warrant was legally issued, but why are you blocking it?

[PARK JONG JUN / Chief of Presidential Security]
That's because there are many legal theories. I'll tell you during the investigation.

[Reporter]
Didn't the court dismiss the objection?

[PARK JONG JUN / Chief of Presidential Security]
The dismissal was already made by the court after we executed it and after the execution of the warrant. Until then, there was no such content.

[Reporter]
Do you think the warrant is legitimate?

[PARK JONG JUN / Chief of Presidential Security]
I think there will be legal debates with each other during the investigation process.

[Reporter]
Please say something here, too.

[Reporter]
Chief, you've been refusing to be summoned today, and the police have been considering arresting you, but the reason why you decided to attend...

[PARK JONG JUN / Chief of Presidential Security]
It doesn't matter. From the beginning, I was thinking of responding to a police summons and responding to an investigation, and the summons was the first day after the incident and then the second three days, and I didn't have the time to prepare a lawyer. In the meantime, a lawyer has been prepared, and I decided to take up the investigation today. I'll go in.
