Yes, at 2:59 a.m. today, the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol was issued.

It has been eight hours since he was questioned as a suspect before his arrest on charges of abuse of authority with the head of the rebellion,
Cha Eun-kyung, a senior judge at the Seoul Western District Court, issued an arrest warrant for President Yoon and explained that there is a risk of destroying evidence.

Criminal charges are a basic premise,

As the current president, he seems to have considered the possibility of using his influence to eliminate evidence of statements from officials,

Also, President Yoon refused to comply with all five requests from the prosecution, police, and high-ranking government officials' criminal investigation agencies,
Non-cooperation in the investigation also played a disadvantage, such as refusing to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit after
was arrested.

It seems to have considered the seriousness of the rebellion, with the process of blocking the National Assembly and the Central Election Commission after the declaration of emergency martial law being broadcast in real time.

President Yoon's lawyers, who said they "expect good results" after the warrant review, have not taken a special position since the arrest warrant was issued.President

Yoon attended the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest and actively responded by explaining the legitimacy of the emergency martial law, but eventually failed to persuade the court.

While the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it would proceed with the investigation in accordance with the law and procedures, the investigation into President Yoon, the leader of the "insurrection," is expected to accelerate.

So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has informed you.
