Presidential Office "Inequity with opposition politicians..."Concerns of Justice's Fairness and Trust"

Regarding the arrest of a sitting president for the first time in constitutional history, the president's office said it was an unequal result with other opposition politicians.

A high-ranking official in the presidential office said in a statement to reporters after the arrest of President Yoon, pointing out that it is feared that it will undermine public trust in the fairness of the judiciary.

Although the official did not specify his name, it is speculated that he was targeting Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, who is at risk of justice.

The presidential office is expected to hold a meeting of senior secretaries presided over by Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok at 9 a.m. to discuss future countermeasures following the arrest of President Yoon.
