An arrest examination will be held this afternoon, has it been decided whether President Yoon will attend or not?
[Reporter]
Nothing has been decided for sure yet.President Yun
said he will announce his position this morning after arranging his position on whether he will attend the arrest examination.
I didn't mention the specific time.
Immediately after the warrant request yesterday, President Yoon said that he would not be present as the Western District Court is not a court in charge of the case.
However, he told reporters late at night that there was still room to review whether he would attend, and that he was "considering ways to resolve the realm of illegality."
Earlier, President Yoon refused to attend the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit on the day before and yesterday, saying he had said enough in the first investigation, and did not attend the investigation into the legality of his arrest.
If you attend the interrogation of the suspect before your arrest, you will be out for the first time since your imprisonment.
According to the custom, only prison guards and President Yoon will move in the Ministry of Justice's convoy, and security vehicles are expected to follow around.After the interrogation, President
Yoon will wait here at the Seoul Detention Center for the results of his arrest examination, which will be released between tonight and early tomorrow morning.

The place where President Yoon stays will also change depending on whether or not an arrest warrant is issued, right?
[Reporter]
President Yoon has been staying in the suspect's waiting room in the Seoul Detention Center for four days.
It is known that there are partition toilets, televisions, and bedding in a solitary cell of about six to seven pyeong.
If an arrest warrant is issued, President Yoon will be transferred to the detention center for undecided prisoners.
In light of the case of former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak, they are expected to be held in solitary confinement.
Also, it is known to wear plain clothes now, but if you are arrested, you will live in khaki-colored embroidery with the death penalty number written on it.
Conversely, if the warrant is rejected, President Yoon will be immediately released from the detention center and returned to his official residence for investigation without detention.

As the arrest examination approaches, the rallies and protests of supporters are likely to intensify, what do you think?
[Reporter]
About 10 supporters are still staying in front of the detention center here, and it's a little quiet because it's early.
Since President Yoon's arrest, anti-impeachment rallies have been held in front of the Seoul Detention Center every day,
More supporters are expected to flock from 2 p.m. to late at night when the
detention examination is scheduled.
They are waving the Korean national flag and the American flag, claiming that both the impeachment and arrest are invalid and calling for President Yoon's release.
