The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is attempting a raid on the presidential office and residence in Yongsan this morning.

However, Kim Sung-hoon, deputy head of the security service, expressed his intention to virtually reject Kim Gun-hee, a security guard merchant, as she is in her official residence.

I'll connect you to a reporter for more information. Reporter Kim Taewon!

Tell us about the raid first,

[Reporter]
Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has been sending prosecutors and investigators to the presidential office and Hannam-dong residence since around 10:30 a.m. today to try to seize and search.

It is known to secure documents and minutes related to martial law, as well as records of non-phonic servers used by President Yoon.

However, there is no news that the search and seizure have actually begun yet,
If the Presidential Security Service refuses to do the search, there is a possibility that the search will fail.

Earlier, the police also attempted several raids on the security office in Samcheong-dong and the president's office, but failed due to the refusal of the security office to cooperate.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is reportedly trying to enter the interior in consultation with the security service.

What is the position of the command of the security department, including Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon, regarding the search and seizure attempt?

[Reporter]
Yes, there was a related comment at the National Assembly today,
Kim Sung-hoon, the acting head of the
Security Department, attended the first hearing of the National Assembly's special investigation committee on civil war this morning (22nd) and said, "We will make a judgment according to the law."

When Chairman Ahn Kyu-baek asked Deputy Chief Kim to approve the seizure and search of the official residence of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, he said it would be difficult to make a decision here and that he would go back and review and judge related laws.

However, he also implied that he would not allow the seizure and search, saying, "Not only the president but also the first lady are subject to security."

In addition, Deputy Director Kim replied, "It is not true at all, and the non-Phone server is automatically deleted due to its nature," when asked by Yoon Gun-young of the Democratic Party of Korea, "Did you delete the non-Phone server under President Yoon's order?"

President Yoon's refusal to investigate even after his arrest has been unusually expressed by Senior Civil Servant Corruption Officer Oh Dong-woon, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Mr. Oh met with reporters on his way to work this morning,

criticized the need to respect the judiciary's decision, saying President Yoon Suk Yeol's attitude of refusing to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is very regrettable.

He also pointed out that if there is an objection, it can be done by following the objection process within the legal order framework.

Director Oh explained yesterday that the investigation team waited at the Seoul Detention Center until 9 p.m., judging that it was not appropriate to go to the hospital where President Yoon visited.

However, President Yoon said he arrived at the detention center only after that, saying he was very sorry and viewed it as a move to avoid investigation.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit tried to find a compulsory arrest yesterday, but it was canceled when President Yoon visited an outside hospital and returned to the detention center after 9 p.m., saying he needed medical treatment after the Constitutional Court hearing.
