As President Yoon Suk Yeol has decided to form a delegation of representatives and respond to the impeachment trial process of the Constitutional Court, attention is also being paid to whether he will appear at the High-Level Public Officials Crime Investigation Office.
So far, it has been found that no lawyer has contacted the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
I'll connect with the reporter and find out.

Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential delegation has begun to operate in earnest.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit notified me to attend on the 29th, is there a possibility of attending?
[Reporter]
President Yoon's side has not yet submitted a senior appointment to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
It has been found that the attendance request sent to the electronic public yesterday has not been confirmed.
However, lawyer Yoon Gap-geun, who was in charge of the "mouth" of the delegation, said in a phone call with YTN that he was not refusing to attend.
Although he asked more about the subpoena investigation, lawyer Yoon explained that he would focus only on the Constitutional Court's preparation for the impeachment trial today.
If the representatives attend the Constitutional Court, I think we can hear more specific positions.
As mentioned earlier, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit asked President Yoon to come out as a suspect and be investigated only two days are left on the 29th.

What happens if the president of Yoon Suk Yeol doesn't come out on the 29th?
[Reporter]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is in a cautious mood.
It's not yet coming out, it's not a definite situation, but it's difficult to talk about and judge the next step.
However, there is an atmosphere that the third summons notice is actually an ultimatum.
In particular, an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that if he is not present on the 29th, it will not take long to decide on the next step.
As recently as this morning, a warrant request for an arrest warrant was mentioned as the next card,
But if the defense team does not continue to hold the position that the impeachment trial comes before the investigation,
The possibility of coordinating the date with the
lawyers cannot be ruled out.

Let's talk about the prosecution's special investigation.
Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun is likely to be indicted today, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is.
The arrest period for former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun is until tomorrow.
Since it is Saturday, the special prosecution may indict former Minister Kim as early as today.
It will be the first time since martial law was declared on the night of the 3rd that the prosecution, police, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will be indicted after launching an investigation into the alleged rebellion.
Former Minister Kim Yong-hyun proposed martial law to President Yoon Suk Yeol and is considered a key figure in planning the situation afterwards.
He voluntarily appeared at the prosecution on the 8th and was arrested urgently after being investigated.
The prosecution is at the peak of the charges against former Minister Kim in the indictment, from the head to the control of the National Assembly and the operation of the arrest group,
It is said that it will contain a structure of organized crime for the purpose of
state constitutional disorder.
I'm YTN Youngsoo Kim at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
