In a public statement, Yoon Suk Yeol said he had sent troops to the National Assembly to maintain order and did not control access to the Assembly.

However, it is necessary to find out the truth through investigations by the prosecution and police, such as multiple testimony that President Yoon directly received orders to arrest lawmakers.

Reporter Kwon Min-seok's report.

In his 29-minute December 12 statement, President Yoon Suk Yeol, who broke Chipgar, insisted on the legitimacy of martial law.

He claimed that he did not send troops to take control of the National Assembly, but to maintain order.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President (last 12th): It is obvious that the reason (for putting troops into the National Assembly) is to maintain order, not to dissolve the Assembly or to paralyze its function. We made sure that the National Assembly officials were not blocked from entering the National Assembly....]

However, the commander of the Special Warfare Command, who sent the 707 Special Forces to the National Assembly, confessed that President Yoon himself ordered the suppression of the National Assembly members.

[Kwak Jong-geun / Army Special Warfare Commander (last 10th): It seems that the decision quorum (with the president himself) has not been filled yet. Crack the door quickly and get out the personnel inside....]

Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and former NIS 1 Deputy Chief Hong Jang-won should also reveal that they have been asked to arrest lawmakers to determine the authenticity.President Yun

also drew the line that it was a warning martial law, such as withdrawing troops without delay after the decision to lift martial law, but
There is also a counterargument that
did not immediately lift martial law and held late-night discussions with key aides.

[Park Sun-won / Democratic Party member (last 10th): President, defense minister, martial law commander, right?]

[Park An-soo / Former martial law commander (last 10 days): That's what happened for about seven or eight minutes.]

In the president's statement, the constitutional agency, the NEC, admitted that forced investigation was impossible, but the entry of martial law forces is also an act of national constitutional disorder under the criminal law.
