From the declaration of the emergency decree to his arrest, President Yoon Suk Yeol has issued six public statements.
Although the discourse unilaterally insisted on the inevitability of emergency martial law or the illegality of the investigation, there was virtually no sincere public apology until the moment of arrest.

[Reporter]
[President of Yoon Suk Yeol (last month 3rd): We declare an emergency martial law to eradicate pro-North Korean anti-state forces at once and to protect the free constitutional order.]
Emergency martial law declared by surprise after 10 p.m.
Despite the attempt to block the National Assembly by mobilizing martial law forces, it did not prevent the passage of the martial law lifting demand.In six hours, a discourse was announced that accepted it as if it were pushed by
, etc.
[President of Yoon Suk Yeol (4th of last month): The military has been withdrawn. We will lift martial law by accepting the demands of the National Assembly through a Cabinet meeting.]
{President Yoon's words of 'apology' came out more than three days later, just before the first impeachment vote.
I said I'm sorry for surprising the people.
[President Yoon Suk Yeol (7th of last month): We are very sorry and sincerely apologize to the people who must have been very surprised.]
However, President Yoon's attitude changed aggressively in five days.
Even after the first impeachment bill was rejected, he turned to a strategy of gathering conservatives as he was on the defensive due to specific revelations that there was an order to arrest politicians.
[President Yoon Suk Yeol (12th of last month): What on earth is a two-hour civil war? Whether you impeach me or investigate me, I will stand up to it with pride. I will fight with the people until the last minute.
Immediately after the second impeachment motion was suspended by the National Assembly, he made this determination.
[President Yoon Suk Yeol (14th last month): I will never, ever give up.]
Even just before he was recorded as the first president to be arrested in constitutional history, Yoon's statement was filled with "argument" against him.
There was virtually no sincere apology to the people.
[President of Yoon Suk Yeol] Unfortunately, the law is all broken in this country.]
