At around 11:25 p.m. that day, Park met with reporters at the Police Agency's Major Crimes Investigation Division and responded to the question, "With what mindset are you approaching the investigation?" by saying, "I am cooperating with the investigative authorities as sincerely as possible. I have explained everything in detail." He did not answer any questions such as "Do you admit to obstructing the execution of the arrest warrant?" or "Why did you express your resignation?"

Park had also appeared the previous day at around 10 a.m. and was investigated for 13 hours. During the investigation, his resignation as Security Chief was accepted, making him a former official.

The Special Investigation Unit of the National Police Agency reportedly questioned him about what instructions he gave to the Security Office, why he refused to accept the arrest warrant, and whether he directly ordered the mobilization of regular soldiers.

Meanwhile, Kim Seong-hoon, the Deputy Security Chief, did not comply with the police's third summons to appear at the National Police Agency by 10 a.m. that day. The Special Investigation Unit is reportedly planning to apply for an arrest warrant.
