President Yoon's side said, "I have never ordered the National Security Agency to delete non-Phone or review weapons."

Lawyers for President Yoon Suk Yeol say that President Yoon has never ordered the deputy head of the security service to delete non-Phone records or review the use of firearms.

Lawyer Yoon Gap-geun said media reports that the president ordered Kim Sung-hoon, deputy chief of the presidential security service, to delete secret phone records or review the use of firearms.

He also explained that there was a report of an invasion of the official residence through Maebongsan Mountain, so Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the security division, strengthened the guard to place firearms inside the official residence guard post guarding the outskirts.

He also said that he should not use physical force at a luncheon for senior presidential security officials and emphasized that he should respond without friction.
