Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People's Power Party, was found to have reassured the supporters of President Yoon who were caught by the police after crossing the fence of the Seoul Western District Court on the 18th while President Yoon Suk Yeol's interrogation of the suspect before his arrest was underway, saying, "I will be released soon."

Critics point out that lawmaker Yoon's attitude, which took the terrorist act against the court lightly, may have led to the first-ever incident of a "court intrusion" since the issuance of an arrest warrant in the early morning of the 19th.

On the 18th, there were a series of authentications posted on the online community by supporters of President Yoon that he had spoken directly to Representative Yoon or exchanged text messages. Police arrested three students at 9:11 p.m. on the same day that a supporter of
blocked a high-ranking official's crime investigation office (CIA) vehicle. When he sent a text message to the effect of "Can you find out?" Yoon replied at 9:46 p.m., "We will release him soon after investigation."

In addition, if you look at a video posted online, lawmaker Yoon, who came directly to the front of the Seoul Western District Court, said, "17 young people crossed the fence and said they were in a detention center, so I talked to the official, and I think it will be a discipline soon," and added, "Thank you to Patriot citizens."

"I'm going to the U.S. tomorrow morning, so I'll give you my cell phone number, and if you have a problem, please contact me and our aides and lawmakers will come forward."

Seventeen people, including a man who crossed the fence at the back gate of the Western District Court at around 5:24 p.m. on the 18th, were arrested on charges of intrusion into buildings.

Some of those who blocked the airborne vehicle leaving the court at around 7:33 p.m. and went on a rampage for nearly an hour were also caught red-handed.

After Yoon reassured his supporters, excited supporters broke into the Western District Court and broke down the court building at around 3 a.m. on the 19th.

When Yoon's text and remarks became known, Internet users responded, "Didn't he instigate a riot?" "How can he be given a direct punishment when he crossed the court wall?" and "Yoon Sang-hyun raised his work."
