Police have asked Kim Sung-hoon, deputy head of the bodyguard, to appear this morning on charges of obstructing the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.
Deputy Director Kim refused to comply with two summons requests on the 4th and 8th, but he did not show up today.
I'm connecting you to a reporter on the spot. Reporter Yoon Taein!
The police said that Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy chief of the security service, did not attend today?
[Reporter]
Yes, the time the police asked Deputy Chief Kim to attend was 10 a.m. today.
I didn't see Deputy Manager Kim,
It was found that
did not even give a lawyer appointment, and the police did not comply with the third request for attendance.
The presidential security service explained that deputy head of department Kim is unable to leave the office in relation to presidential security.
Earlier, the police asked Deputy Chief Kim to attend twice on the 4th and 8th, but he did not respond.
As Deputy Chief Kim did not respond to the summons investigation again this time, the police are expected to consider applying for an arrest warrant for Deputy Chief Kim.
Deputy Director Kim is accused of obstructing the investigation when the Joint Investigation Headquarters launched an arrest warrant for President Yoon.
Park Jong-joon, former chief of security, who was investigated by the police for more than 13 hours on the same charges yesterday, is still being investigated by the police since 9 a.m. today.
The police also sent a second request for attendance to Lee Jin-ha, head of the Security and Safety Headquarters, who refused to comply with the first request for attendance, asking him to attend by 2 p.m. today.

Yesterday, the police had an executive meeting regarding the execution of President Yoon's arrest warrant?
[Reporter]
Yes, the police yesterday called in the heads of the Metropolitan Police Agency's regional investigation team in Seoul, northern Gyeonggi Province, southern Gyeonggi Province, and Incheon to hold a meeting.
This is to come up with countermeasures against the failure of President Yoon's arrest due to security personnel at the time of execution of the first arrest warrant.
Earlier on the day before yesterday, the National Police Agency asked four police agencies in the metropolitan area to cooperate because they could mobilize investigators, and the number of targets reached 1,000,
The participants of the two-hour meeting, which began at 2 p.m. yesterday, are known to be the criminal activation leader and drug crime investigation leader of each investigation team.
All of them are senior superintendent-level officials, and the meeting reportedly discussed the difficulties expected when executing the second arrest warrant for President Yoon, the size of the personnel to be put in, and the allocation of duties.
However, it is said that all the details have not been finalized, so there is a possibility that further meetings will proceed.
As a result, it is unlikely that the second arrest warrant for President Yoon will be executed this weekend.
