As the prosecution intensified its investigation, including conducting a search and seizure at Song's residence and support organization on the 29th of last month, it appears he intends to directly attend the prosecution to clear up the suspicions. It is expected that Song will reiterate his position to the media at that time.



On the 24th of last month, upon returning through Incheon Airport, Song said, "Since this issue arose because of me, I will take responsibility and lead the efforts to resolve the problem."
