YTN reporters met Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy chief of the presidential security service, alone near the Seoul Detention Center, who was released after the prosecution rejected the arrest warrant.
Deputy Chief Kim said he would stay in the detention center 24 hours a day to protect the detained president of Yoon Suk Yeol.
Let's listen to it for ourselves.
[Reporter]
I have a simple question. Why are you here today?
[Kim Sung Hoon]
Since the president is here, I'm here for security.
[Reporter]
Then, did you return to security in the future?
[Reporter]
Yes. (As Deputy Chief?) Of course, yes.
[Reporter]
The arrest warrant has been turned down, how are you looking at it?
[Kim Sung Hoon]
I got it from the detention center.
[Reporter]
What's your reaction to the rejection?
[Kim Sung Hoon]
I don't make a hasty judgment, but I think it's still a common sense judgment about the work I performed.
[Reporter]
Are you planning to respond to the police investigation?
[Kim Sung Hoon]
Of course. I didn't comply with the summons at that time, but as you know, it was a severe period. Since that mission is a priority, I also submitted my opinion that I would prioritize the mission and comply with the police summons.
[Reporter]
Do you have plans to summon him again?
[Kim Sung Hoon]
I don't know about that, but if I subpoena, I'll comply.
[Reporter]
The president is in custody, so what are you going to do with your security?
[Kim Sung-hoon]
There is no difference, but rather, security measures will be taken differently depending on the risk level.
[Reporter]
In what way?
[Kim Sung Hoon]
You have to judge above. For example, in the case of a safe residence or the presidential office, isn't there security? Moreover, in the case of this detention center, there are other vulnerable areas, so the corresponding protective measures will be taken.
[Reporter]
The same goes for the official residence?
[Kim Sung Hoon]
Of course. (Because you're here.) Of course.
[Reporter]
There's been a lot of reports and public opinion about what happened at birthday parties and security offices. What do you think about this?
[Kim Sung Hoon]
Of course, it is technically security work and can be done, but as I said last time, it is a world where people live. So, don't you do things like having an event or singing a song? Don't you do the same for your boss, who serves you as if you're having a celebratory party for your colleagues? It's an expression that we can say that we spent a budget or didn't give it to you, but we didn't hear it, but we didn't. That's not Yoon Bei-cheon.It's not like you're denigrating everything like this.[Reporter] In the future, the deputy head of the department will stay in the detention center for 24 hours and work on security...
[Kim Sung-hoon]
Almost so.
