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.

The police plan to seek an arrest warrant for Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security service, who did not respond to all three requests for attendance.

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.

Kim Sung-hoon, deputy head of the security service, did not eventually show up yesterday, the third notification of attendance, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, earlier, the police notified Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security service, to come to the police three times to be investigated.

Deputy Chief Kim did not respond, saying that he could not leave for a moment as acting head of security at a severe time.

Kim, who became the head of the security service when former Chief Park Jong-joon resigned from his position, is classified as a hardliner in the organization because he was a former police officer, unlike Park, who was a former official at the security service.
The
police are expected to apply for an arrest warrant against Deputy Chief Kim, who did not respond to all three summonses, and launch a forced investigation.As Deputy Chief Kim is known to lead the execution of the arrest warrant for President

Yoon, it seems that the acquisition of Deputy Chief Kim will have a great impact on the re-execution of the warrant.
If a
arrest warrant is issued, there is a possibility that the second arrest attempt against President Yoon will be attempted to execute the warrant against Deputy Chief Kim first.

There's the head of the security services that have been investigated by the police, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Lee Jin-ha, the head of the security and safety division, who was charged with leading the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, 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, the former presidential security chief who was the first among the leaders of the security service to appear at the police, was under intense investigation for more than 13 hours for two consecutive days.Former Minister

Park said he was cooperating with the investigation as faithfully as possible and 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.

The head of the security service charged with obstructing the execution of the arrest warrant is four,
As those who are classified as relatively moderate follow the police summons 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.

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

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