In front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Security agents wearing tactical suits and helmets were seen on patrol.

He is also carrying a backpack, and it is known that he can store rifles and extra magazines.

Rep. Yoon Gun-young of the Democratic Party claimed that they were a counter-terrorism team and that it was ordered by Kim Sung-hoon, a "hardliner."

At the same time, President Yoon Suk Yeol launched an offensive to reveal whether he ordered President Yoon, saying that he had recently urged security officials to use weapons one after another.

Yoon emphasized the legitimate performance of his duties based on his usual business guidelines, claiming that it was fake news that turned normal work into carrying and preparing for guns.

The Presidential Security Service also issued a statement and refuted the claim that lawmaker Yoon's claim that an executive of the Security Service asked Deputy Kim to resign and was issued on standby is not true.

It was confirmed that the executive recently met with officials from the National Headquarters and delivered internal information such as the location of military facilities, and that it was not a disadvantage for remarks made at the executive meeting.

It is interpreted as an attempt to calm the leadership's opposition and internal agitation against Deputy Chief Kim with the super-strong move to disclose the official's alleged leakage of confidential information.

As a series of suspicions have become a battle of truth, it has become more difficult to predict the response of the bodyguard to the re-execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon.

In this regard, a government official pointed out that inside the security office, there should be no use of weapons, and that the accidental response of hard-liners is most worrisome.
