◇Anchor> It remains to be seen where the investigation will be focused, but controversy over abuse of authority has also arisen. In media reports, employees were asked to massage or make a birthday song. This is what it's about. Are these legally applicable to abuse of authority? How do you see it?

◆Kim Kwang-sam> You can see it like this. First of all, what the security service does is to protect the president and his family, to remove and prevent any external threats. But isn't it that the tribute song, that President Yoon Suk Yeol, produced a song like this, whether it's the president from heaven? But this is not a security service job. That's why I don't want to do this, but if I was forced to do it, it could be an abuse of authority, but there is a concept that is legally difficult to abuse of authority.

◇ Anchor> Is subjective interpretation involved?

◆Kim Kwang-sam> There's that, and if you force someone to do something related to the security service, it's an abuse of authority, but they sing a tribute song.It's not the security service's job to massage Ralji. So, in our opinion, isn't it a crime of abuse of authority if we ask them to do something that's not a security service? I have to look at it like this, but it's not that. It's an abuse of authority if you do something illegal related to security work. So this may not be legally understood. So it's not easy to abuse your authority.

◇Anchor> What should I call it legally to do something I don't have to do?

◆Kim Kwang-sam> That can be a crime of coercion. It is a crime of coercion, but it is not easy to abuse authority if unnecessary work is deliberately asked to be done by using the position of deputy security chief. And there are talks about massages, but when I saw the dedication song, it was very embarrassing. By the way, the security service's job is to protect the president and his family, but isn't that actually the 60th anniversary of the security service? And it was the same as the president's birthday. I think that the security guard should not do it like that, but he forgot his mission as a security guard.
