The Presidential Security Service (P.S.S.) is now at the center of South Korea's political turmoil, tasked with blocking criminal investigators from detaining President Yoon Suk Yeol, who faces mounting public dissatisfaction.
With a majority of South Koreans demanding his ousting and arrest, the P.S.S. effectively becomes a barrier, questioning the legality of warrants and outnumbering investigators during attempts to enforce them.
The agency, created in a time of military dictatorship, had receded into shadows with democratization but regained notoriety for its controversial actions since Yoon's presidency.
P.S.S.'s recent actions reflect a complex relationship between the state's protective responsibilities and political accountability, serving as both shield and point of contention in the current crisis.
