Seoul, Jan 10 (Reuters) - South Korean presidential
security chief Park Chong-jun plans to appear for questioning by
police on Friday, a spokesperson for the security service said. 
    Investigators seeking to arrest South Korea's impeached
President Yoon Suk Yeol for possible insurrection were blocked
by his security staff in a six-hour standoff last week. 
    "Park Jong-joon, head of the Presidential Security Service,
is scheduled to appear at 10 a.m. on the 10th at the request of
the police to conduct an investigation," Jin Seon-ho, Public
Information Officer for the service said.
