Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who is participating in the formation of the Yoon Suk Yeol President's lawyers, conducted a question-and-answer session with foreign reporters this morning.Lawyer
said that President Yoon has apologized for shocking the people with emergency martial law, but reiterated that President Yoon is confident in future issues.
President Yoon then explained that he judged the political situation as a national emergency when martial law was declared, and that when the Constitutional Court's trial begins, President Yoon is expected to express his views and beliefs himself.
However, lawyer Seok avoided an immediate answer to the observation that President Yoon would respond to the request for attendance by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and that the lawyers would answer later on.Lawyer
said that there is a lot of deliberation to form an optimal defense team, and President Yoon is also making various preparations and plans at his official residence.
This afternoon, a question and answer with the domestic media is also scheduled, and some analysts say that President Yoon has engaged in an all-round public opinion war.

Let's look at the prosecution.
Yesterday, we decided to hand over President Yoon's case to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, but the backlash from the prosecution remains?
[Reporter]
Yes, the prosecution, which is continuing its investigation into the emergency martial law case, decided to transfer the case of President Yoon and former Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit yesterday.
As the subject to investigate President Yoon, who is considered the peak of the rebellion charges, has been decided, the prosecution is organizing the materials to be handed over to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
As the prosecution has been conducting a large-scale investigation, a lot of investigation data and evidence have been secured, and working-level consultations with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will continue to discuss how far it will go.
However, an official from the special prosecution investigation headquarters, who was in charge of the investigation, expressed displeasure, saying that the investigation team's opposition to the transfer was clear and that it had also been delivered to the prosecutor general.
Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung also sent a letter to the prosecutors last night, apparently considering the backlash.
President Shim decided to transfer the case with the judgment that there should be no controversy over the law and procedure, and explained that if all the cases are handed over to the prosecution, the special prosecution will eventually make the final investigation and decision.
So far, I'm YTN Lee Kyung-guk at the Special Investigation Headquarters of the Prosecution Service.
