Prosecutors in South Korea accused a presidential bodyguard of asking Chatgpt about “Marta Law”, “a statement of Marta Law”, and “dissolution of the National Assembly” on December 3, 2024. According to the court, Lee Kwang-woo-South Korea’s presidential security, the presidential security of the South Korean security.
The South Korea’s Presidential Security Service (PSS) has been at the center of discussion and legal problem since Yoon’s short attempt to impose a Martian law at the end of last year. Yoon’s “self-dome” lasted about six hours, but the consequences lasted months. Yoon has been inserted, arrested and released, and expects to see if the courts will remove him from the office.
Entering Yoon into the courthouse was difficult. The PSS is similar to the United States Secret Service, but more similar to the Roman Pratorian Guard. It was once one of the most Power agencies in the country and is loyal to the president’s office. Following the statement of Marta Law, Yoon retired to a composition in central Seoul. The PSS set up a string of 200 soldiers and 10 buses that countered attempts by prosecutors to arrest Yoon.
Lee, besides being a ChatGPT fan, is the head of PSS bodyguard division. The second time prosecutors tried to arrest Yoon in January, he suggested that the PSS could discourage them with a gun. Lee performed. According to the South Chinese Morning PostLee told his team to arm himself with MP7S. “If the secondary gate is broken, run out with the sub -machine guns,” he reportedly told them. But no bullets were fired and prosecutors served the order and arrested Yoon.
Lee and others in the PSS were linked in the proceedings. Lee faced an obstruction of justice allegations related to his protection of the president and the possible removal of digital records related to the case. And it is in these records that investigators allegedly found him asking Chatgpt some strange questions on December 3, 2024.
According to the South Korean daily newspaper The HankyorehLee asked the AI what would happen if Yoon declared a Martian law and he would do it at 20 o’clock, two hours before Yoon announced his plan. Lee’s lawyer said prosecutors screwed the digital doctors. He did not deny that Lee asked the AI about Marta Law, only that it happened after Yoon declared it.
If Lee did Chatgpt’s search before the statement would mean he knew his boss’s plans. During the various attempts around the night of December 3, it is important for prosecutors and the public to learn who knew what and when. Did Lee collute with Yoon or did he just react to his boss’s plot? His interactions with Chatgpt may hold the answer.
The Hankyoreh also reported today that the court dismissed some of the obstructive charges against Lee and other members of the PSS.
