  Kim Byung-joo accused the Presidential Security Service of participating in "a second insurrection" by preventing Yoon's arrest.
  
  Concurrent with the first arrest attempt, Army Chief Park An-su, who had served as martial law commander during Yoon's December declaration, and military official Kwak Jong-geun were indicted on insurrection charges.
  
  The interim leader of the PPP, Kwon Young-se, supported the suspension of the attempted arrests and advocated for further investigation without detention of Yoon.
  
  North Korea's state media characterized South Korea as being in "chaos" and politically paralyzed, publishing its commentary about the situation in the Rodong Sinmun newspaper. The North Korean coverage emphasized the "unprecedented impeachment" and subsequent political turmoil, and referred to South Korean institutions as puppets of the United States.
