Impeached former President Park Geun-hye arrived at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on Tuesday morning to be questioned on 13 suspicious points during her presidency.
Although Park remained silent over a barrage of questions from reporters, she apologized to the public over a corruption scandal that led to her removal.
"I'm sorry to the people," stony-faced Park told reporters. "I will cooperate with the investigation."
Political parties and presidential hopefuls for the May election have spoken about Park's apology and her investigation.
Bareun Party: "It is regrettable that former President Park did not express a sincere apology."
Liberty Korea Party: "We will not make any statements regarding the issue."
Minjoo Party of Korea: "It is Park's last duty to sincerely cooperate in the investigation."
People's Party: "The Prosecutions' Office should put their fate on the investigation."
Moon Jae-in (Minjoo Party of Korea): "Park should know that she should at the very least reveal the truth and ask the people for forgiveness."
An Hee-jung (Minjoo Party of Korea): "I hope that this will mark the start of a new era."
Lee Jae-myong (Minjoo Party of Korea): "Park should be arrested and a seizure warrant issued for Cheong Wa Dae."
Sohn hak-gyu (People's Party): "Because Park said she would sincerely cooperate with the investigation, it is necessary for her to disclose the whole truth."
Park Jie-won (People's Party): "Park should preserve the dignity of a former President. Showing no sign of regret is not a show of dignity."
Kim Kwan-yong (Liberty Korea Party): "The investigation should continue without Park's detention."
Rhee In-jae (Liberty Korea Party): "Park is practically in confinement. The investigation should continue without Park's detention."
