The Airborne Department's explanation that the 55 Guard Corps guarding the outskirts of the presidential residence allowed access to the residence for the execution of arrest warrants was found to be partly different from the truth.

The president of Yoon Suk Yeol criticized state agencies for even spreading lies and false information.

With the execution of a second arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president imminent, the Office of the Criminal Investigation of High-ranking Officials said it has been granted access to the official residence by the 55th Guard Corps.

As the 55 Guard Corps guarding the outskirts of the presidential residence decided to open the door outside the residence, it was evaluated that execution became easier.

However, President Yoon refuted the claim, saying that the guards did not allow access.

He criticized state agencies for even spreading lies and false information, saying they are ashamed to be investigative agencies and state agencies.

Since then, the Ministry of National Defense has also expressed its position that the announcement of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is not true.

The head of the security unit verbally explained that the approval of access was restricted alone while stamping the official document presented by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit,
After
, he officially sent an official letter containing the same contents again.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit acknowledged in a late additional notice that there are some differences from the facts.

At 2:25 p.m., I received an official letter from the 55th Guard Corps stating that I would allow access to the target area related to the arrest warrant,
About two hours after
, I received another official letter saying that additional approval was needed from the department in charge of approval of access to the security service.

At the same time, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that the 55 Guard Corps' official permission to enter is valid and requires additional approval from the security service.

Despite this explanation, criticism is raised that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit distributed inaccurate notices at an important time, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said the investigation team recognized the second official letter after 7 p.m.
