On the 7th, Song arrived at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office at around 9:23 a.m. He immediately entered the building and requested a meeting with the investigation team, but his request was denied, so he turned away. Following the breakdown of the meeting, Song plans to hold a press conference in front of the Central District Prosecutors' Office and conduct a solo protest until 1 p.m.
After returning from France, Song voluntarily appeared on the 2nd of last month, saying, "Please do not harass those around me and arrest me, Song Young-gil," but the prosecution refused to investigate or meet with him, forcing him to leave after 10 minutes.

The Anti-Corruption Investigation Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Young-cheol) is investigating on the grounds that, ahead of the May 2021 party convention, independent lawmakers Yoon Kwan-seok and Lee Seong-man and other primary campaign associates distributed a total of 94 million won within the party to ensure Song's election, and that Song conspired in this process. The prosecution intends to summon Song, identified as the final beneficiary, after completing investigations of other related parties. It is expected that some time will pass before the actual investigation takes place.
