President's Office, Chief of Staff Kim Dae-gi, personally pointed out the National Police Chiefs' meeting as "inappropriate behavior".

Vice Chairman Woo Sang-ho emphasized that he would not be swayed by the issue of equity with the prosecution, which had previously taken collective action in the phase of complete inspection.

Seo Young-gyo, head of the Democratic Party's countermeasures against police takeover, also warned that various legal actions are possible for Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min, including a proposal for dismissal and a proposal for impeachment.
