An interrogation process will be held shortly at 5 p.m. to determine whether the arrest of Yoon Suk Yeol's president is justified.President Yun
requested an arrest suit, calling it an illegal arrest warrant by the unauthorized Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the court.
I'm connecting the reporter who is on the scene. Reporter Shin Jiwon!
Is there a possibility that President Yoon will attend the court in person today?
[Reporter]
The atmosphere is unusual, but nothing has been decided yet.Last night, the lawyers for President Yoon
told YTN reporters that they would consider whether the president would attend in person according to the interrogation schedule.
So far, we have not announced an official position and have not answered any questions from reporters.President
Yoon has said he will comply with the procedure if he requests an arrest warrant from the Seoul Central District Court or immediately submits it to trial.As President
Yoon directly filed an arrest suit with the Seoul Central District Court, we are interested in whether he will appear in person as a party today.

What is the atmosphere of the building ahead of President Yoon's arrest?
[Reporter]
Security has been strengthened around the court building, including restrictions on access.
When there was a big case sentence, the court gave a security enhancement notice, but
Cafes and restaurants in the building, which remained open at that time
, also closed from 3 p.m. today.
In addition, police and court officials are frequently inspecting the interior of the building.
Black SUVs, which were usually hard to see, stand out today.
The movement to check on-site security appears to be busy before deciding whether President Yoon will attend.

What about the issue of arresting grudges today?
[Reporter]
The court will listen to the opinions of both President Yoon's lawyers and the prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and if the arrest process is unfair, it will be released, and if there is no problem, it will be dismissed.
The investigative authority of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the jurisdiction of the Seoul Western District Court are expected to be at issue.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit handed over the case records to the court at 2:03 p.m. today.
The investigative agency can secure recruits up to 48 hours from the time the suspect is arrested, and when the records are received, the arrest deadline is suspended until they are returned.
The record was received 27 hours and 30 minutes after yesterday morning when President Yoon was arrested, so about 20 hours and 30 minutes are left.
In the end, it is expected to be a variable in the flow of the investigation depending on when and how the results of the arrest suit will come out.
The court is expected to hear both sides' positions in today's interrogation and conclude by tomorrow.
So far, the Seoul Central District Court has informed you.
