President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached 10 days after the lifting of the emergency martial law, refused to comply with all five requests for attendance by prosecutors, police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

After the controversy over the overlapping investigation, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which took the lead in the investigation, immediately began the arrest process,

At the time of the first execution attempt, he withdrew empty-handed in about five hours and was at the center of controversy.

Since then, the second arrest warrant execution has arrested a sitting president for the first time in constitutional history without physical conflict, after a "strong-on-two-sided" strategy of pressuring the command of the security service and cajoling the staff.President Yoon

refused to make specific statements in the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and even filed an arrest suit with the Seoul Central District Court.

The arrest warrant issued by the Seoul Western District Court is illegal, but the Seoul Central District Court did not accept this claim.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also requested an arrest warrant for President Yoon to the Seoul Western District Court, which issued the arrest warrant.

President Yoon, who has refused to comply with all procedures, from document delivery to execution of arrest warrants and requests for attendance by investigative agencies, will be at a crossroads in his arrest 46 days after the declaration of the emergency martial law.
