President Yoon Suk Yeol was imprinted as an image of a "steel prosecutor" to the public when he exposed allegations of external pressure during the NIS's investigation into the manipulation of comments in 2013.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / At the time of the special investigation team leader for presidential intervention at the NIS (October 2013); If the investigators feel that it is unjust or unreasonable and goes too far, the investigators feel that it is external pressure]He returned to the front line of the investigation in 2016 when he joined the special prosecution team for the manipulation of state affairs after moving from one position to another due to the

'rescue wave'.Immediately after the inauguration of the
Moon Jae In administration, he was promoted to the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and the prosecutor general.

When investigating the two former presidents, Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, they summoned them publicly and put them on the photo line without exception.

[Park Geun Hye / Former President: I am sorry to the people. I will sincerely investigate.]

[Lee Myung Bak / Former President: I am deeply sorry for causing concern to the people regarding me.]

However, when he was investigated as a sitting president, he completely changed from his time as a prosecutor.

He became a suspect in charge of rebellion due to the declaration of emergency martial law, but he dismissed all legal procedures requested by the investigative agency as illegal and refused.

He has also encouraged security officials and supporters to block the execution of court-issued arrest warrants while staying at his residence for more than a month.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / Today: I can't help but be really deplorable to see the coercive process being carried out by an invalid warrant.]
