More than 980 days after Yoon Suk Yeol's inauguration, he has been at a crossroads.

Since being booked for martial law on the night of December 3,
From the
ban on departure to refusal to recall several times, issuing two arrest warrants, and being arrested after numerous resistance, all of them are the first incumbent presidents.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which arrested President Yoon in two attempts on the morning of the 15th, investigated him intensely for more than 10 hours.

However, President Yoon only repeatedly insisted that martial law is the president's own authority, and he exercised his right to remain silent on the prosecutor's questions.

After that, he refused to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit altogether, saying he had fully stated his position,
Even after the dismissal of the arrest suit through the Seoul Central District Court
, he did not budge on the illegal investigation claim, saying that the illegality was not resolved.

In the end, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit requested an arrest warrant in a surprise manner without completing all of the more than 200 pages of questionnaires.

He charged the head of the rebellion with abuse of authority,
It seems that the joint investigation headquarters data with the
police and the investigation records received from the prosecution are sufficient to prove President Yoon's charges.

There is a possibility that the court will dismiss the warrant, but if the warrant is issued, President Yoon could be recorded in the constitutional history under the stigma of being the first president to be arrested while maintaining his current status.
