The People's Power expressed regret over the court's decision to issue an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol and said the same standard should be applied to Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea.

Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, held an emergency committee meeting at the National Assembly and said, "I feel terrible and heartbroken," and stressed that the investigation without detention is a legal principle for presumption of innocence and guaranteeing the right to defend suspects.

He then said that the warrant was rejected in the review of Lee Jae-myung's arrest warrant two years ago because it was important to guarantee defense rights, and pointed out that the judicial process is not controversial and flawed, and should not be a rubber band standard.

Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong also criticized that the justice department's fairness and credibility have fallen to the ground, saying that the process of arresting and arresting the president is illegal and illegal, but how can he explain to the public that a warrant has been issued for a sitting president in a pension state.
