President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has emphasized the unfairness of the Western District Court's warrant request, was widely expected to miss the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest.

Immediately after the actual request for an arrest warrant, the president's lawyer told reporters that President Yoon would not appear.

However, a few hours later, he changed his position, saying he would comprehensively reveal his attendance in the morning.

In fact, lawyers visited the detention center after announcing the announcement at 10 a.m.

After the longer-than-expected interview, the lawyers announced at around 10:55 that President Yoon would attend the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest.

It means that they accepted the lawyers' suggestion that it is better to attend court in person and respond confidently,
He also emphasized the position that he would restore his honor by explaining directly the legitimacy of the
emergency martial law and that the crime of rebellion does not constitute.

He also mentioned the regret that the former ministers, generals, and the police chief, who carried out martial law work, were arrested.
