Park Jong-joon, head of the National Security Agency, who is accused of obstructing the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, attended the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters today after refusing to comply with the request twice.

Director Park emphasized that the investigation process should be carried out suitable for the current presidential status.

Park has responded to the 3rd request for attendance, right?

[Reporter]
Chief of Security Park Jong-joon attended the police at 10 a.m. today.

Director Park is accused of obstructing the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol on the 3rd.

Earlier, the police notified Director Park Jong-joon of his attendance on two occasions, but Director Park did not respond, saying that it was a time when security was severe or that he had not yet appointed an attorney.

The police notified Minister Park of the third summons to come out by 10 a.m. today to be investigated, but they have been considering applying for an arrest warrant if they do not respond.

Director Park's position is that the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon was wrong, right?

[Reporter]
In order to prevent bloodshed, Minister Park said he has asked Acting President Choi Sang-mok and President Yoon's lawyers for a third alternative, not the execution of arrest warrants.

He insisted that the investigation process should be carried out suitable for the current presidential status.

I'll listen to your remarks.

[Park Jong-joon / Presidential Security Service Director: 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.]

Director Park explained that he intended to respond to the police investigation from the beginning, and that the defense team's preparation was delayed a little, so he came to the investigation today.

When asked by reporters whether the arrest warrant was legally issued, he said he thought there would be a legal debate.

The police summoned the heads of the metropolitan area's regional investigation team ahead of the execution of the second arrest warrant for President Yoon?

[Reporter]
The National Police Agency has notified the heads of the Metropolitan Police Agency's regional investigation team to gather at the National Police Agency by 2 p.m. today.

It seems that the leaders of the optical team were brought together today to discuss detailed plans ahead of the execution of the second arrest warrant.

Right now, there are more than 1,000 people under the Gwangsu Group of the four police agencies in the metropolitan area.

As the validity period of the second arrest warrant is about two weeks, about a week longer than the last warrant, the police are expected to discuss the execution plan more closely with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
