Please summarize the contents of President Yoon's statement.

[Reporter]
Yes, shortly after President Yoon's arrest, the president's office released a video of the two-minute and 50-second public statement.

In a video that seemed to have been filmed at his official residence, Yoon said that the law had all collapsed in this country, and that it was deplorable to see the court issue arrest warrants and search warrants from agencies without investigative power.

However, he said he had decided to attend the airlift to prevent unsavory bloodshed after seeing police and airlift agencies use fire equipment to break in.At the same time, President

Yoon stressed that he does not accept the procedures of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.He used the expression "present" rather than

(arrest), and repeatedly said that the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was "illegal" and appealed for the injustice of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's law enforcement proceedings.President

Yoon also thanked the people, especially the young people, for re-recognizing the importance of liberal democracy and showing their passion.

This is a time when the law is broken and it's pitch-dark, but the future of the country is hopeful, he added.

President Yoon's statement is the sixth, including the declaration of martial law on the 3rd of last month, and he announced his position directly a month after the impeachment motion was passed on the 14th of last month.

What is the presidential office's move after President Yoon's arrest?

That's right. The presidential office said chief of staff Chung Jin-suk will hold an emergency senior meeting at 2 p.m. today, presided over by the chief of staff.After the arrest of President

Yoon, it is expected that the president's office will discuss future countermeasures.

Director Jung also briefly explained the background surrounding the arrest.President Yun

said he would voluntarily attend, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit maintained its position that it could not give up the execution of the arrest warrant.

Then President Yoon decided to respond to the arrest, saying it is important not to hurt the people, Chung explained.

Director Chung added that President Yoon said he would fight with the people until the end after repeating this before leaving his official residence.

Let's also look at the atmosphere of the presidential office's security office surrounding the arrest of President Yoon.

I don't think you stopped it as hard as you did with the 1st arrest warrant, why did the internal tide change?

[Reporter]
Yes, the bodyguard confronted for nearly four hours at the first cordon, but there was no great movement of resistance after the door of the official residence opened.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit explained that there were no personnel or security officials preventing the execution, but it was different from the basic position of "We will respond according to the plan of security work."

In fact, the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit crossed the barrier and easily entered the official residence.

There are many interpretations of why the security agency did not engage in active sanctions, or all-out physical defense, and there are speculations that the security agency's command and staff's judgment may have collided.

In fact, inside and outside the security office, there are many internal agitation and opposition to Kim Sung-hoon, who is known as a "hardliner," ordering a strong response.

An official familiar with the situation of the security service explained that each employee's judgment seemed to have played an important role as they could be in a difficult situation due to obstruction of public affairs.
