[Anchor] The Special Committee for the State Affairs Investigation into the Local Election Ballot Shortage Incident just moments ago managed to enter the vote counting station set up at Olympic Park in Songpa-gu after a 27-day lockdown, and has since emerged after completing an on-site verification. Meanwhile, although the national soccer team has returned home after failing to advance to the Round of 32 in the World Cup due to an all-time poor performance, the fallout shows no signs of subsiding, and scenes raising suspicions of a lack of communication and discord are being re-examined. We will discuss this with Attorneys Son Jung-hye and Kim Sung-soo. Welcome. The Special Committee waited to enter the vote counting station and eventually entered with the assistance of the police. News has also been reported that they have just emerged after completing the on-site verification. It seems they spent a little over 30 minutes looking around the interior; what specific areas did they focus on? [Son Jeong-hye] First off, it is known that a large number of ballot papers, ballot boxes, and voting-related documents were stored at the site. If these documents and items are indeed evidence that directly aids in proving election fraud or negligent election management, then a verification process is necessary to inspect them firsthand, including their storage conditions and subsequent circumstances. That is why you can view the site visit as the reason. We can say that we went to the location because these could be important pieces of evidence. Usually, the principle for such on-site verification is to conduct it immediately and effectively, but since a large number of protesters were still demonstrating, I find it very regrettable that the visit came relatively late—nearly a month later. Nevertheless, the fact that they entered the site today can be seen as significant in that the police cooperated to carry out their official duties of on-site verification without major clashes with the protesters by maintaining order. [Anchor] As we heard just now from the reporter on the scene, there are reportedly quite a lot of people gathered there. And I heard that before entering for the on-site verification, clashes even occurred within the protesters themselves—that is, between the protesters. How should we interpret this situation? [Kim Seong-su] It is, of course, in the realm of speculation. However, since there are many protesters who have come out with very diverse views, it is impossible for everyone to share the same thoughts as one person. Consequently, there is speculation that a dispute arose regarding the Special Committee's entry for today's on-site verification. Also, because the protesters are a group of people with various characteristics, and physical altercations have occurred in the past, I do not think we can rule out that possibility. [Anchor] We showed you footage of the Special Committee waiting before entering the building. In fact, even before the Special Committee was formed, lawmakers had visited and attempted to enter the building several times, but were blocked by the protesters every time. However, the protesters who have been guarding this place for a long time have also blocked sports organization officials from entering the stadium. There have also been cases where they have been reported on charges of obstruction of business, and it is said that they will be questioned by the police next week. What charges could be applied?
