Park Jong-joon, the former head of the Security Service, and Lee Jin-ha, the head of the Security and Safety Division of the Security Service, who are accused of blocking the execution of the president's arrest warrant, were summoned by the police yesterday.

We plan to apply for an arrest warrant for Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security service, who has repeatedly refused to comply with the summons.

I'm connecting you to a reporter on the spot. Reporter Lim Yejin!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency.

Lee Jin-ha, the head of the security and safety division of the security service, attended the police yesterday, following Park Jong-joon, the former head of the security service, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Lee Jin-ha, the head of the security and safety division, who refused to attend for the first time, was questioned for nearly nine hours yesterday in response to the second summons.

In front of reporters, Lee did not answer questions such as whether the mobilization of soldiers was ordered by President Yoon, but gave only a short answer that he faithfully conducted the investigation.

Park Jong-joon, former presidential security chief who was charged with leading the execution of the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol, was under intense investigation for more than 13 hours for two consecutive days.After the investigation, former Chief Park

told reporters that he was cooperating with the police investigation as faithfully as possible, and that he explained everything in detail.

However, he did not answer any questions from reporters asking whether President Yoon ordered the installation of cordons or mobilization of soldiers.As those who are classified as relatively moderate follow police summonses ahead of the execution of the second arrest warrant for President

Yoon, the inside of the security office seems to be in a state of turmoil.

A total of four security officials were booked for obstructing the execution of the arrest warrant, including them,

The police also summoned Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the security headquarters, for the third time to appear by 10 a.m. tomorrow.

[Anchor]
Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security service, didn't comply with all three summonses, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, earlier, the police notified Deputy General Manager Kim to come to the police for investigation three times.

Deputy Chief Kim refused to attend, saying he could not leave for a moment as acting head of security at a severe time.

The police asked for a third round of attendance by 10 a.m. yesterday, but Deputy Chief Kim never showed up.

Deputy Chief Kim, who became the head of the security service when former Chief Park Jong-joon resigned from his position, is also classified as a hardliner within the security service.
The
police are expected to apply for an arrest warrant for Deputy Chief Kim, who did not respond to all three summonses, and launch a forced investigation.Deputy Chief Kim is known to lead the execution of the arrest warrant for President

Yoon, so it is expected that the success or failure of the re-execution will be greatly affected by whether Kim will secure the arrest warrant before that.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Ye-jin from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
