Police say they're going to take a decisive action against the security agents who are interfering with the arrest, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, an official from the special police investigation team said at today's briefing that they have made plans to arrest and investigate security officials who interfere with the execution of the second arrest warrant for President Yoon.

Previously, the police had warned that they would arrest any security officer who interferes with the execution of the warrant.

He said he had this policy today, and that he was preparing measures such as dispersing and escorting the arrested employees to investigate.

However, the police emphasized that they would give leniency to security officials who cooperate with the execution of the warrant.

It seems to be trying to induce internal agitation by pressuring and conciliating security officials at the same time.

Police said not only security officials but also current lawmakers would not be excluded from arrest if it was clear that they had interfered with the execution of the warrant at the scene.

So how do you think the second warrant execution will be done?

[Reporter]
Yes, a special team official said they are considering safety as a top priority in relation to the execution of the second arrest warrant.

Police reiterated that the first principle is safety, when asked by reporters how they would respond to the possibility of firearm use by some of the security services staff.

The police explained that it is most important to execute the warrant so that there are no casualties or bloodshed, and that they are fully reviewing and preparing safety issues considered at the time of the first execution.

At the same time, the police are increasing pressure on the command of the security service.

In particular, Kim Sung-hoon, deputy head of the security service, who did not respond to the third request for attendance, even applied for an arrest warrant, leaving open the possibility of arresting both deputy head Kim and President Yoon at his official residence.

As such, amid predictions that it will not take long to execute the arrest warrant for President Yoon, the police said they are fully considering the possibility of taking more than a day to execute the warrant.
