President Yoon Suk Yeol has made it clear that he has no intention of responding to the execution of arrest warrants, foreshadowing a series of charges against investigative agencies, including the head of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

On the other hand, President Yoon said he would attend the impeachment hearing date designated by the Constitutional Court.

Yoon Suk Yeol's president, who opposes the execution of arrest warrants, has predicted a number of charges.

It said it would file a complaint against more than 150 people, including Oh Dong-woon, head of the high-ranking government official's crime investigation department, Lee Ho-young, deputy chief of the National Police Agency, and Kim Sun-ho, deputy defense minister.President

Yoon claimed that officials from the Airborne Division and the Police Special Forces broke into the main gate of a military facility protection zone to execute unconstitutional and illegal arrest warrants, and beat and injured security officials.

Lee Ho-young, the acting chief of the National Police Agency, and Kim Sun-ho, the acting defense minister, said they were suspected of dereliction of duty by refusing the security chief's request to increase the number of personnel.

At the same time, he announced that President Yoon would attend the impeachment hearing in person and state his opinion.

A total of five dates have been designated until the 4th of next month, and the possibility of attending the first hearing scheduled for the 14th is mentioned.

In the past, former Presidents Roh Moo Hyun and Park Geun Hye have never attended the impeachment trial process, so if President Yoon actually attends, he will be the first president in the impeachment trial.From the early stages of the formation of the delegation, President

Yoon stressed that the response to the impeachment trial takes precedence over the investigation, and has refused to comply with the investigation agency's request for attendance.

It seems to be in the same vein that he announced his attendance at the impeachment trial as his first public move since he moved out of his official residence.

However, if an arrest warrant or arrest warrant is issued at the time of attendance, it is still unclear whether President Yoon will actually leave his official residence as there is a possibility that the investigative agency may seek to secure a new person.
