The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is planning to execute again soon, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, in order to make up for the last execution failure, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is considering specific measures.
No significant movement has been detected yet.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is still discussing the timing of execution with the police today.
The specific date is kept silent.
Considering the possibility of clashes with supporters in front of the official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, and the violent blocking of the security service, the possibility of execution at night or on weekends is also open.
In the first round of execution, it failed due to strong resistance from the Presidential Security Service,
This time, we are also considering arresting security officials who prevent execution as current offenders for obstructing the execution of public affairs.

President Yoon's position is that he cannot continue to comply with the execution of the warrant, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon continues to insist that the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is illegal.
It maintains that it cannot comply with the execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.At least
, he said he would seek a preliminary arrest warrant and accept the court trial accordingly.
Critics point out that the investigation may continue to be delayed as well as the execution of arrest warrants.
President Yoon stressed that he would exercise his right to remain silent even if he was arrested.
Yoon's lawyers claimed yesterday that they came to submit the appointment of a lawyer, but they were denied access and returned.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that the lawyers asked for an interview, saying it was difficult right now, but countered that they went back without paying.

What is the deadline for this arrest warrant? Last time it was a week, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, it's been three days since the arrest warrant was issued.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has not disclosed the validity of this warrant.
It looks different from what was disclosed at the time of the first execution that the expiration date was a week.
Since there has already been a lot of criticism after failing to execute once, it seems that the investigation security has been considered.
The validity period of an arrest warrant is usually seven days, but it can be more than that if the judge admits it.
If the arrest fails again this time, the investigation into President Yoon will be difficult for a long time.
So far, I'm YTN Kwon Jun-su from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
