Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer who is in charge of legal advice for President Yoon Suk Yeol, met with reporters a while ago and said it would be difficult for President Yoon to attend the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit tomorrow (25th).
Let's go to the scene.

I think it's difficult.
[Reporter]
Why are you looking at me like that?
[Seok Donghyun / Yoon Suk Yeol's legal counsel]
I'll tell you that the conditions haven't been met yet. Mr. President, as I said last time, he thinks impeachment is a priority as the Constitutional Court's impeachment process has also been prosecuted by Congress, and with at least a strand of impeachment proceedings and some of the president's basic positions as a respondent to impeachment being explained to the Constitutional Court and to the people... I'm thinking that the first thing that needs to be explained is that.

Then, the fact that impeachment proceedings take precedence over investigations can be different depending on whether or not they are impeached.
[Seok Donghyun / Yoon Suk Yeol's legal counsel]
Isn't the impeachment trial the final decision of the impeachment trial and the judgment of the president's dismissal? It does not mean that it is after the conclusion is reached, but once the impeachment proceedings begin, there will be a position and reason as the president has been prosecuted through several defense proceedings, and the president who has been prosecuted will have a position as president and a reason for it.
The part that supports that position should be publicly publicized and evaluated and judged on this part, but not after it's over, but at least an overview of the president's position will be known at the beginning. That's how it works. Think about it. If I go to the investigative agency like this, if I write "secret room" in a closed space, I think you'll be sensitive to the word "secret room." Hold on.
