The court, which expressed concerns about the destruction of evidence due to the reason for issuing an arrest warrant, seems to have judged that President Yoon's rebellion charges have been largely cleared.President
Yoon belatedly attended the arrest examination and even claimed to "self-defend," but analysts say that his consistent steps to hold out have eventually become self-imposed.

President Yoon Suk Yeol's attendance at the arrest warrant was announced in a surprise move about three hours before the interrogation.
In court hearings, he also argued directly for about 45 minutes on two occasions.

The reason why attendance at the court hearing, which is a natural procedure, was accepted in a surprise move was because it was different from the "toughing" strategy that President Yoon has consistently shown throughout the investigation.
President Yoon, who once refused to comply with the prosecution's summons notice, refused to summon the case all three times even after the case was transferred to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
After a series of arrest warrants were issued for refusal to summon, he did not budge by using the security service personnel as a shield at the fortified residence, and was rejected for an arrest warrant "application for objection" that was not in the Criminal Procedure Act.
In the end, a second arrest warrant was executed and detained due to an internal departure from the security office, but the moment he left his official residence, he actually denied the judiciary's judgment.

In the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the prosecutor's newspaper remained silent or refused the investigation itself,
The court was changed to the
Central District Court and requested an arrest suit, but it was rejected, and it was evaluated as a decisive 'self-inflicted' in the legal profession.
As a lawyer who was a former prosecutor general, he used flashy "law skills" by even a group of luxury lawyers, but rather, he became a self-serving suspect who led to the first arrest of a sitting president.
Although the court that issued the arrest warrant cited concerns over the destruction of evidence, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit reiterated that clarification of criminal charges is a priority prerequisite.
