It was found that the arrest warrant for the president of Yoon Suk Yeol stated that the execution of the warrant could not be prevented due to military and official secrets.

The Seoul Western District Court was found to have issued an arrest warrant for President Yoon on charges of sedition, stating that Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act were excluded.

The Presidential Security Service has protested the search and seizure on the grounds of the "secret of military thought" in Article 110 of the Criminal Procedure Act and the "secret of public affairs" in Article 111, which has overshadowed this defense logic.

Unlike general arrest warrants, the arrest and search warrants issued by the court are intended to identify the whereabouts of President Yoon, so it is interpreted that the application of the law should be different.

However, as President Yoon claims that the arrest warrant itself is illegal, the possibility of a conflict with the security service cannot be completely ruled out when executing the warrant.
