Acting National Police Agency Commissioner Lee Ho-young visited the Seoul Western District Court a little while ago in connection with the court riot of supporters of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

I'm on my way out after checking the damage to the Western District Court.

Let's listen to the acting police chief's remarks.

[Hoyoung Lee]
I think this situation is a serious challenge to the rule of law and I would like to say that we will continue to strictly deal with illegality and violent protests.

[Reporter]
Since yesterday, there have been threats of murder and threats against the judge who issued the warrant, so do you have any plans to respond to them?

[Hoyoung Lee]
We will thoroughly investigate the threats and find out who made them. In addition, we would like to say that we will do our best to protect ourselves.

[Reporter]
You said you would do it as an arrest investigation principle, but are you planning to do it all regardless of the severity of the people who stormed yesterday?


[Lee Ho-young]
We plan to strictly deal with those who caused this kind of violence and illegality, including arrest investigations. So far, it has been reported that there has been no change. I think it can be increased in the future through evidence or something like that. Inside the courthouse, careers stand on the outskirts of the border.

[Reporter]
Isn't on-site evidence also in progress from outside?

[Hoyoung Lee]
In the investigation part, we are taking pictures and collecting evidence. Right now, we don't have it. I don't have one right now. We will investigate, sufficiently collect evidence, preserve the site, and do so.

[Reporter]
There are a lot of things that have been instigated by far-right YouTube, is there room for the investigation to expand to that part as well?

[Hoyoung Lee]
I'm probably going to investigate enough about the background and things like that.

[Reporter]
a part of propaganda

[Hoyoung Lee]
We will also thoroughly investigate the violence. I don't think that's the stage to tell you yet. I don't think the answer to why the violence took place is appropriate.

[Reporter]
To what extent is your personal protection carried out?

[Hoyoung Lee]
I need to discuss that with the judge. When we ask for personal protection, we always consult with the parties and haven't received a report on it yet.

[Reporter]
What's the situation like inside?

[Hoyoung Lee]
It's damaged a lot, and it's damaged a lot in windows and walls. I'll be able to talk to you through the spokesperson's office next time.
