Assemblyman Yoon Geon-young "Seoul Police Chief Acting Position Refuses to Submit Call Records Before and After Martial Law"

Yoon Geon-young, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 18th, "I asked Park Hyun-soo, acting commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, to submit phone records with public officials around the time of the December 3 emergency martial law, but he refused."

At the plenary meeting of the National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee that day, Rep. Yoon criticized, "Acting Commissioner Park continues to claim he was not involved and expresses grievance," adding, "Isn't the easiest way to prove this by submitting the phone records?"

Rep. Yoon pointed out, "If he is confident and has nothing to hide, he should submit them," and said, "Why can't he do even that? He should prove it, not just talk."

Earlier, controversy arose when Park Hyun-soo, Director of the Police Bureau at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, was appointed as the commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on the 7th. Acting Commissioner Park was appointed to key positions such as the personnel verification team of the Presidential Transition Committee and the National Situation Room of the Presidential Office under the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, then as director of the Police Intelligence Bureau at the National Police Agency, and director of the Police Bureau at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. It was revealed that Acting Commissioner Park had multiple phone calls with Police Commissioner Cho Ji-ho, former Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min, and Police Security Bureau Director Lim Jeong-ju immediately after the martial law declaration.
