The Special Investigation Unit for Emergency Martial Law under the National Police Agency announced on the 9th that the travel ban measures against the five individuals have been completed.


Commander Lee stated that he was dispatched to the National Assembly site during the martial law and received a phone call from President Yoon Seok-yeol inquiring about the situation immediately after the martial law was declared.


Commander Kwak said, "I received orders from former Minister of National Defense Kim Yong-hyun to remove personnel from the National Assembly building."


Commissioners Cho, Kim, and Chief Mok are suspected of prohibiting the entry of National Assembly members, thereby disabling the authority of the National Assembly.



The Special Investigation Unit said, "Yesterday, we requested the Counterintelligence Command, Capital Defense Command, Special Warfare Command, Army Headquarters, Intelligence Command, and Ministry of National Defense to submit data related to the deployment status of personnel involved in the martial law declaration," adding, "Considering the seriousness of the matter, we ask for prompt cooperation."
