[Capture News] "Korea is in danger"... The message that President Yoon signed and delivered.

On New Year's Day, President Yoon Suk Yeol called his supporters 'patriotic citizens who love freedom and democracy' and said they would fight to the end together.

He also expressed his gratitude and regret that he was worried that his health would be damaged in the cold weather, saying he was watching the rally on YouTube live.

After the arrest warrant was issued, a message with a handwritten signature was printed on paper and delivered to the supporters who continued the vigil.

It is different from sending a message to the entire people with a discourse earlier.

Eight years ago, former President Park Geun Hye reached out to the hard-line supporters more directly than he made his position through a conservative YouTube channel after the impeachment motion suspended him from exercising his authority.

It is interpreted that such a way of communication is to hope that supporters will unite to prevent the execution of arrest warrants.Lawyers for President

Yoon also showed explicit hostility, saying that if the National Police Agency executes arrest and search warrants on behalf of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, citizens could be arrested for abuse of authority and obstruction of justice.

There is also an analysis that he was wary of the fact that the impeachment trial and investigation were accelerated due to the division of his supporters during former President Park Geun Hye.President Yun

seems to have set a strategy to slow down the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit as much as possible to avoid personal arrest, focus on the impeachment trial, and try to change the atmosphere.

However, some observers say that as a prosecutor-turned-president, he can voluntarily attend the investigative agency and choose a head-on breakthrough as soon as he reorganizes his legal response logic.
