The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office is struggling at the last minute ahead of the re-execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.
As the pressure on the security service has increased, there is a high possibility that the re-execution will take place as early as this week.
I'm connecting with the reporter, reporter Kim Cheol-hee!

The timing of the 2nd warrant execution by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, have some strands been caught?
[Reporter]
It has been six days since the arrest warrant was reissued, but no movement has been detected since dawn.
Regardless of the re-execution of the warrant, most of the investigation teams are preparing for the presidential investigation by going to work today, which is a holiday.
In addition, senior officials such as Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Officer Oh Dong-un also reportedly came to the government building to discuss the timing and method of execution.
There is a glimpse of a willingness not to fail in the second execution attempt, with an official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explaining that more manpower will be put into the re-execution than in the first attempt.

Then, when will the arrest warrant be re-executed?
[Reporter]
The validity period of this arrest warrant is known to be about two weeks.
The biggest consideration of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in setting the timing seems to be the Presidential Security Service.
At the time of the first execution, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said that the resistance of the security service was stronger than expected and that it withdrew due to safety concerns.
While re-executing the president's arrest warrant, it is mentioned that the leadership, including Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon, will arrest him to neutralize the resistance of the security service.
In addition, as the president's side is focusing on gathering supporters every day, it is also expected that he may re-execute as early as this week.
