President Yoon expressed his position to come to court in person?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon will appear in person at 2 p.m. today at the Seoul Western District Court.

This is the first case in which an incumbent president stands at a crossroads of arrest and goes to the hearing of the warrant.President

Yoon met with lawyers Yoon Gap-geun and Bae Jin-han from around 9:40 a.m. to discuss whether they would attend.

In the meantime, President Yoon's side has expressed its position that the Seoul Western District Court will not go to the warrant review as it is not a court under the jurisdiction of the case.


Yoon's side decided to attend the defense counsel's proposal that Yoon should respond confidently,
He explained that he felt sorry for the arrest of former ministers, commanders, and police chiefs who carried out the
martial law or worked to maintain order.

He added that he felt that he should restore his honor by explaining directly that the law of emergency martial law and the crime of rebellion are not established in courts and constitutional courts.

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 for the past two days and did not appear at the arrest investigation held at the Seoul Central District Court.

How are you preparing for the airlift?

[Reporter]
As it has requested an arrest warrant for the incumbent president for the first time in history, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is making every effort to prepare for the warrant's substantive examination.

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.

The investigation team left work quite late yesterday, but we will do our best to prove the charges in today's screening and stay up all night to watch the results.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is determined to secure President Yoon's recruits 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 could take a sudden break.

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 taken over from the police and prosecution and reflected comprehensively.

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 removing additional evidence, such as 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.

So far, I'm YTN Kwon Jun-su from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
