Acting Commissioner Lee made this remark in response to a question from Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Gun-young during the plenary session of the National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee on the same day.

Lawmaker Yoon Gun-young pointed out, "Either lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun or the Gangnam Police Station chief is lying," and urged, "A thorough investigation and inspection must be conducted."

Earlier, on the 18th, the day before the violence incident at the Western District Court, lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun told supporters of President Yoon Suk-yeol, "I spoke with police officials because 17 young people were in custody after climbing over the fence at the Western District Court. They will probably be released soon."
