Last week, Yoon Suk Yeol's side refused to execute arrest warrants, did not hesitate to express harsh words, and worked on a public opinion campaign.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which failed to execute the first warrant, also expressed its willingness to arrest President Yoon this time.

As the possibility of executing a second arrest warrant became visible, Yoon Suk Yeol's side claimed to hold a press conference for two consecutive days.

He reiterated his opinion that "arrest warrants are illegal and invalid" against school records and foreign reporters.President Yoon

argued that it is not normal law enforcement for investigative agencies to attempt a 'show-off arrest' by even mentioning the deployment of helicopters or armored vehicles.

If an arrest is attempted by force, a strong backlash from the public is expected, and if it is done wrong, it could lead to a 'civil war,'

It is interpreted as an intention to gather support by using rough expressions without hesitation.

On the other hand, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which experienced failure in its first execution, is externally showing its willingness to succeed this time.

Oh Dong-woon, head of the Airborne Division, came to the National Assembly and defined President Yoon Suk Yeol as the "head of the rebellion" and said he would arrest the suspect at the peak of the charges.

In particular, the bodyguards have raised the level of their offensive against legitimate warrants, saying that preventing them from executing them raises fears of escape.

The Joint Investigation Headquarters, consisting of the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, is seeking the best time by refining its strategy for executing arrest warrants.
The longer the preparation time for
is, the more the public opinion war between President Yoon and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is expected to intensify.
