According to the Special Investigation Unit of the National Police Agency on the 20th, Park was recently called twice to verify President Yoon Seok-yeol's movements before and after the declaration of martial law. Park has shadowed President Yoon for a significant portion of his schedule.

Previously, Police Chief Jo Ji-ho and others testified during police investigations that "we received a call from Park saying he wanted to see us, so we headed to Anga." Former Minister of National Defense Kim Yong-hyun was present at that meeting.

The police are also reportedly examining the relationship between former Intelligence Command Commander Noh Sang-won and Park.

Park, the second head of the Presidential Security Service under the current administration, is a graduate of the 2nd class of the Korean National Police University and previously served as deputy commissioner of the National Police Agency.
