South Korea’s presidential security chief, Park Chong-jun, has resigned from office as he faces questioning over the reason his guards prevented the detention of impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol.
An official of the Presidential Security Service (PSS) said this to newsmen this Friday, saying Chong-jun submitted his resignation this Friday morning as he attended a police questioning at the Korean National Police Agency.
Park spoke to newsmen before the questioning, saying that there must be no bloodshed if investigators attempt another arrest of Yoon. He says he understands that many citizens are concerned about the current situation where government agencies are in conflict and confrontation.
Recall that Yoon has refused questioning last week and resisted arrest in a stand-off between his guards and investigators.
