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.

Please summarize this briefly, too.

[Reporter]
Yes. At the beginning of the new year, President Yoon's SNS posted a long text of more than 9,000 characters, saying that he wrote it with a fountain pen himself.In this article, President

Yoon emphasized the background of the declaration of emergency martial law and the unfairness of the execution of arrest warrants.

In particular, he complained that there was too much evidence of fraudulent elections and that he declared an emergency martial law because he did not make any effort to correct it when it was significantly lower than the normal state agency computer system.

He claimed that martial law meant informing the severity of the situation and being vigilant, and that the decision on the 3rd was an appeal to the public in the form of martial law.

He then reiterated that he did not declare martial law for dictatorship or extension of power, but for normalizing the function of the state and protecting liberal democracy, and that the crime of rebellion could not be established.

It is speculated that the letter may have been released to gather supporters while conceiving the logic of responding to future investigations.

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 it was found that there was no significant resistance after the official residence door 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.

In this regard, some observers say that the judgment of the headquarters and employees of the security agency may have been different.

In fact, inside and outside the security office, there were a lot of internal agitation and opposition to Deputy Chief Kim Sung-hoon, known as a "hardliner," who ordered 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.
