After meeting with President Yoon, who was detained in the Seoul Detention Center, Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer for President Yoon Suk Yeol, said the president is very worried about the negative impact of the violent arrest.Speaking to reporters in front of the Seoul Detention Center this afternoon, lawyer
said, "It is against the rule of law for a sitting president to mobilize thousands of police forces to make excessive and violent arrests."

He said the president is doing well inside, adding that it is still difficult to predict whether the president will attend the warrant hearing in person, but lawyers will strongly argue about the body of the case and the need for arrest.

He went on to stress that unlike arrests, arrest warrants deal with long periods of detention, so he expects and urges the court to review them comprehensively and carefully to decide.
