President Yoon Suk Yeol, who remains in detention, has refused to attend today's re-investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the court's appellate court.

In the midst of this, supporters are gathering in front of the detention center and continuing their rallies to call for Yoon's release.

I'm connecting to the reporter in front of the Seoul Detention Center. Reporter Yoon Taein!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the Seoul Detention Center.

President Yoon did not appear, including the re-investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the interrogation of the investigation of the arrest?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon did not attend the re-investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit scheduled for 2 p.m.

At 5 p.m., an arrest investigation was also scheduled at the Seoul Central District Court,
President Yoon was not seen leaving the detention center to attend the
interrogation.

There was also a possibility that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit would force President Yoon, who did not appear in today's re-investigation, but it did not happen.

Several security guards vehicles were also spotted entering and leaving the Seoul Detention Center in the morning, but President Yoon was not seen moving with the security vehicles.

President Yoon, who had been investigated for more than 10 hours earlier, arrived at the Seoul Detention Center at around 9:50 p.m. last night and spent his first night in the suspect's waiting room.

It's been almost a day since President Yoon was detained here in the detention center,
If the
court cites President Yoon's arrest suit, the result is noteworthy as President Yoon is released and will leave the detention center.

In the meantime, supporters of President Yoon have gathered in front of the Seoul Detention Center since 1 p.m. to keep their seats and raise their voices until late at night.

Currently, supporters are holding flags such as red lanterns and Taegeukgi and chanting slogans such as "Return President Yoon to his official residence immediately."

What kind of place is President Yoon in custody?

[Reporter]
The suspect's waiting room, where President Yoon was detained, is a solitary cell of about 3 pyeong.

Only minimal tools such as televisions, folding mattresses, and blankets are provided in the partition bathroom.

President Yoon lives in plain clothes instead of prison uniforms, and CCTV is operated 24 hours a day to monitor the waiting room.

Today, cereal, boiled eggs, nuts, and milk were served at the detention center for breakfast, and Chinese noodles and black bean sauce were served for lunch.

For dinner, soybean paste stew and braised spicy chicken were served.

Amid the unprecedented situation in which the incumbent president was detained, President Yoon insisted that the detention center should be designated as a security zone under the Security Act,

However, as the responsibility for President Yoon's recruits lies with the detention center, the security agency is only waiting inside the detention center office, not the security office where President Yoon was detained.
