This is the first time the prosecution has called the incumbent president as a suspect.

President Yoon is the sixth president in constitutional history among former and current presidents.

Former President Park Geun Hye was previously summoned to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on suspicion of manipulating state affairs, but
The investigation was conducted after the
Constitutional Court decided to dismiss him.

In the past, prosecutors investigated not only former President Park, but also former Presidents Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, Kim Roh Moo Hyun, and Lee Myung Bak.

The prosecution's notification of President Yoon's attendance was faster than the National Assembly's passing of the impeachment bill,
The police, who have been competing for leadership in the investigation of the
insurrection allegations, have prepared for the summons of President Yoon behind the scenes.

The prosecution plans to call President Yoon to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, where the nation's largest prosecutor's office and the special investigation headquarters for emergency martial law are established.

If the actual summons is made, President Yoon, who served as the special director of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and the chief of the district prosecutor's office, will return to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office as a suspect.

However, it remains to be seen whether President Yoon, who is still receiving respect for the president, including security and protocol as an incumbent president, will comply with the prosecution's summons.
