[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] Regarding the 'allegation of drafting documents for judge surveillance,' the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency (PCC) has once again notified Son Junsung, the Human Rights Protection Officer at Daegu High Prosecutors' Office, to appear for questioning.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Son's side stated, "The PCC has notified us to appear on either the 26th or 27th, and we are currently negotiating the date of appearance." Last week, the PCC also requested Son to appear on the 19th or 20th, but Son's side asked for schedule adjustments.

Previously, Son's side filed objections to the PCC's decision to withhold disclosure of information such as the complaint or crime recognition report related to the judge surveillance allegations. They also submitted a petition requesting the exclusion of Deputy Chief Yeo Woon-guk from the investigation.

Son's side may refuse the PCC's summons on the grounds that they have not received a response regarding these matters. In that case, the PCC may consider reapplying for an arrest warrant against Son.
