As the execution of a second arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president is imminent, the president's response is shifting toward "preventing arrest."

However, there are many voices that judicial proceedings should be observed.

Reporter Youngsoo Kim reports.

The security chief, who assisted President Yoon Suk Yeol closer than anyone else after passing the impeachment bill, said this at a police investigation.

[Park Jong-joon / Presidential Security Service Director: I think the investigation process should be carried out in line with the current presidential status.]

It is interpreted as a return to President Yoon's demand for an arrest warrant or prosecution, which seems to be aimed at preventing arrest along with the ruling camp's claim of respect for the president and concerns about a fall in national dignity.


If President Yoon's side is executing an arrest warrant and a physical conflict between the police and the security office occurs,
It is in the same vein that the acting president
is responsible for pressuring the government.

However, there are many voices that there should be no exceptions to the judicial process.

[Kim Seok-woo / Acting Minister of Justice: The investigative agency thinks that it is a principle to execute the warrant as long as it is issued by requesting the court]

In particular, Chun Dae-yup, the head of the court administration, criticized the president directly, saying that issuing arrest warrants and blocking execution are all matters of national dignity.

[Cheon Dae-yeop / Court Administration Director: The fact that the president is subject to the arrest warrant is a part of national dignity, and the fact that the warrant is not executed is also a part of national dignity.]

In addition, he added to the execution of arrest warrants by the Joint Investigation Headquarters, saying that resisting without justifiable reasons could interfere with the execution of public affairs.
