◇Anchor> President Yoon said he would not attend until yesterday, but his position changed only this morning. How should we interpret the change in his position to attend? What's the reason?

◆Seo Jung-bin> In fact, one of the reasons I expected him not to attend this time is that President Yoon has been insisting that he has no jurisdiction over the Western District Court's warrant, so I thought that he would not attend the Western District Court and receive a warrant review at a time when he continues to make such consistent claims. If that happens, it seems to be quite contrary to the previous arguments, so I thought that. In the end, the fact that he was present means that he finally made this judgment about whether it would be advantageous for President Yoon to attend at least a little at a time when he is determined whether he is arrested or not. In addition to this, since he has never appeared directly in front of the public so far, he has not appeared in court this time, of course, but I think it includes his intention to send a message to his supporters by showing the process of attending.

◇ Anchor> President Yoon continues to refuse, but he did not respond to the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and did not attend the arrest suit in the Seoul Central District Court earlier, but he attended the Western District Court's actual examination of the arrest warrant today. Did this judgment work that there will be a disadvantage if something is not present? What do you think?

◆Seo Jung-bin> I think it could be. It is true that it is more advantageous for the suspect to attend in the case of a normal warrant examination, and it is true that if he does not attend, he or she is more likely to be issued an arrest warrant because he or she cannot exercise sufficient defense rights. In this case, even if they do not attend, they have already raised various issues from outside the court and the lawyers were expected to defend them in the actual examination, so I thought there would be no particular disadvantages even if they do not attend, but for President Yoon, I think it would be more advantageous for him to attend and explain the situations of the emergency martial law situation than to plead his position through his agents.
