Park Jong-jun, the former head of the Presidential Security Service, is facing charges of obstructing the execution of an arrest and search warrant related to President Yoon Suk-yeol (obstruction of special public duty). He appeared for the second time at the police for questioning, which lasted 14 hours, before returning home.
After finishing the investigation at around 11:20 p.m. on the 11th, former Minister Park met with reporters outside the National Investigation Agency of the Korean National Police Agency in Seodaemun, Seoul, stating, "I cooperated as faithfully as possible with the police investigation." This was Park's second appearance at the police; he was questioned for 13 hours at the National Investigation Agency the previous day.
The police have booked four members of the security service's leadership for charges of obstruction of special public duty, including former Minister Park, Vice Administrator Kim Seong-hoon, Deputy Minister Lee Kwang-woo, and Vice Minister Lee Jin-ha. Deputy Minister Lee also spoke to reporters after being questioned at around 11 p.m., stating, "I participated sincerely in the inquiry." The other two individuals have refused the police's request to appear.
Meanwhile, Choi Sang-mok, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance, has accepted the resignation of former Minister Park.
