President Yoon said he would attend in person?
[Reporter]
Yes, that's what I just revealed.President
Yoon will appear in person at the Seoul Western District Court at 2 p.m. today for the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest.Attorneys Yoon Gap-geun and Bae Jin-han, the lawyers for President Yoon
, entered the Seoul Detention Center at around 9:40 a.m.After meeting with President
Yoon to discuss his attendance, he decided to go out in person.
In the meantime, President Yoon's side has stated that since the Seoul Western District Court is not a court under the jurisdiction of the case, President Yoon will not go to the warrant review.
Late at night, he told reporters that he was considering ways to resolve the realm of illegality and that he would discuss whether he would attend again.
Earlier, President Yoon said he had said enough in the first investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and he did not respond to the investigation over the past two days and did not appear at the arrest investigation held at the Seoul Central District Court.
However, if arrested, they will be detained in Seoul Detention Center for up to 20 days, including the arrest period, so they will come to the screening to express their opinions.

The president comes forward and makes his position clear, but how is the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit preparing for it?
[Reporter]
That's right, as we have requested an arrest warrant for the incumbent president for the first time in history, we are making every effort to prepare for the warrant's substance examination.
Tensions are flowing at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which has been conducting arrest warrants and emergency martial law investigations, with office lights turning on from dawn.
It has been confirmed that a total of six people will attend the screening, including Cha Jung-hyun, a senior prosecutor at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
I left work quite late yesterday, but the investigation team seems to continue working all night watching the results of the examination today.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is determined to secure new recruits for President Yoon and continue the necessary investigation.
If the arrest warrant is rejected, President Yoon will be released immediately, and the investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will be disrupted.

The data submitted by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit alone is about 150 pages?
[Reporter]
Yes, the charges listed in President Yoon's arrest warrant are the head of the civil war and abuse of authority.
This bill is known to amount to 150 pages, which is large enough to be carried in a wheelbarrow.
It was found that the interrogation report of key suspects, including former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, was comprehensively reflected by the police and prosecution.
Also, basically considering the seriousness of the crime, there is a risk of recidivism such as the second martial law discussion,
It is said that President Yoon stressed that there is a possibility of further eliminating evidence in light of the act of deleting Telegram.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit reportedly referred to President Yoon as a "typical conviction" and stated that he is not repenting of the martial law incident at all.
In response, President Yoon said that he was not guilty of conviction, and he did not budge from his position that he was exercising his constitutional authority, judging it as a national crisis.
