The police reportedly requested an arrest warrant for Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy chief of the security service, who did not respond to all three requests for attendance.
While Park Jong-joon and Lee Jin-ha, former head of the Security and Safety Headquarters, responded to the police summons, there seems to be considerable agitation within the security office.
I'm connecting the reporter who is on the scene. Reporter Lim Yejin!

The police plan to secure Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security service, who refused to comply with the third attendance?
[Reporter]
Yes, earlier, the police asked Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security service, to appear three times,
Deputy Chief Kim
did not respond at all, saying he could not leave for a moment as acting head of security at a serious time.
Kim, who became the head of the security service when former Chief Park Jong-joon stepped down from his position, is classified as a hardliner in the organization, unlike Park, who was a former police officer.
The police reportedly requested an arrest warrant after Deputy Chief Kim did not respond to all three summonses.As Deputy Chief Kim is known to lead the arrest of President
Yoon, it seems that if the police secure Deputy Chief Kim's whereabouts, there could be a crack in the defense line of the official residence.
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.
It seems difficult for the security service to prevent the arrest of Deputy Chief Kim as the security targets of the security service are limited to the president and his family.

I think there will be children's songs inside the security office.
[Reporter]
Yes, there are a total of four leaders of the security service charged with obstructing the execution of President Yoon's arrest warrant,
Park Jong-joon, former head of the Security Service, and Lee Jin-ha, head of the Security and Safety Headquarters, who are considered relatively moderate, attended the police and were investigated.Following the resignation of the security chief ahead of the execution of the second arrest warrant for President
Yoon, some leaders followed the police summons, showing signs of cracking inside the security office.
Recently, an article was posted on the internal bulletin board of the security office that it may be illegal to prevent the execution of a warrant by physical force, but it was reported that it was deleted under the order of Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon.
The police also asked Lee Kwang-woo, another hardliner, to attend twice, but all refused.
If it does not come out by 10 a.m. tomorrow, the deadline for notifying the third summons of
, an arrest warrant for Director Lee is also expected to be considered.
So far, I'm YTN Lim Ye-jin from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
