On the day of martial law, the commander of the special forces and the commander of the defense command, who were requested for an arrest warrant, reportedly received a telephone order from the president of Yoon Suk Yeol to "pull it out."It can be seen that President
Yoon himself took care of martial law, and if they are secured, the investigation toward President Yoon is expected to speed up.

After the martial law was issued, President Yoon Suk Yeol contacted Army Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jong-geun and Capital Defense Commander Lee Jin-woo to take care of the situation.
The two say in unison that the president himself instructed the National Assembly to bring down the personnel.Commander Kwak
attended the National Assembly and delivered the president's remarks as they were,
[Kwak Jong-geun / Army Special Warfare Commander (last 10th): It seems that the quorum of the resolution has not been filled yet (with the president himself speaking on the phone), so hurry to break the door and get out the personnel inside....]
Commander Lee is also known to have stated in a prosecution investigation, "President Yoon became angry when he was approaching the decision to lift the National Assembly's martial law, saying, 'Why can't you pull it out?'"
Testimony against President Yoon's claim that he did not block the National Assembly came out one after another from the military command.
Additionally, Kwak and Lee attended the Hannam-dong mission meeting earlier this year when former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun was the presidential security minister.
The Democratic Party of Korea is raising suspicions that President Yoon was preparing for martial law based on this meeting.
It is also revealed that the two commanders knew of the declaration of martial law in advance.Commander
Kwak said he received instructions from former Minister Kim to secure the National Assembly two days before martial law,
It has been confirmed that the commander
ordered military officials to convene before the martial law was announced.
Based on the results of the investigation, the prosecution charged both of them with engaging in important duties.
After securing the two commanders, the prosecution is expected to coordinate the schedule for the recall of President Yoon, who is at the peak of the situation, using it as a conscript.
