Acting President Choi Sang-mok said in a central and local safety inspection meeting this morning that he is deeply sorry for the disturbance of President Yoon's supporters in the Western District Court.

In particular, he emphasized that if you want to persuade others, you have to obey the law first.

Let's listen to it.

[Choi Sang-mok / Acting President and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance: First of all, I deeply regret the illegal violence that took place at the Seoul Western District Court in the early morning of the 19th. The Republic of Korea is a rule of law. All arguments and procedures must be democratic in accordance with the Constitution and laws, whenever and under any circumstances. Now, Korea is experiencing unprecedented difficulties in arresting an incumbent head of state. In this situation, if we assert ourselves through illegality and violence, conflicts and confrontations in our society will become more severe. Democracy starts with the observance of the law. If you want to persuade others, you have to obey the law first. Related agencies such as the National Police Agency should make every effort to manage the assembly, maintain order, and guard major institutions to prevent illegal violence from happening again. Please enforce the law fairly and strictly so that all protesters can abide by the law and procedures at any time and under any circumstances.]
