I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Jang Ayoung! Director
Park has responded to the 3rd request for attendance, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is.
Director of Security Park Jong-joon attended the police at 10 a.m. today and is under investigation for nearly 10 hours.
Director Park is accused of obstructing the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol on the 3rd.
Director Park responded to the police investigation after three requests for attendance.
It was found that he submitted a letter of resignation to Acting President Choi Sang-mok before attending, which Choi accepted today.
The police also notified Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security department who is acting due to the resignation of the head of the security department, to come out by 10 a.m. tomorrow to be investigated, and we are interested in whether he will appear in a surprise manner like Chief Park Jong-joon.
Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the security headquarters, who once refused to comply with the summons, was not present today.
The police said they sent a request for attendance on the 13th.

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.]
When asked by reporters whether the arrest warrant was legally issued, Director Park also expressed his position that he thought there would be a legal debate.
With the acceptance of Minister Park's resignation, the possibility that the security service will block the execution of the warrant under Minister Park's order has disappeared.
However, as the police have publicly warned the security office that they will arrest the current offender if they interfere with the execution of the warrant, there is a possibility that former Chief Park's charges are serious and may be arrested urgently.
