Yes, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit notified me a day ago to attend by 10 a.m. today for an investigation.

If President Yoon continues to hold out, how will the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit respond?
[Reporter]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is most likely considering forcibly bringing President Yoon from the detention center and investigating him.
An official from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also explained that although there are no provisions under the Criminal Procedure Act, the Supreme Court's precedents exist.
In fact, there is a precedent that a suspect who has been detained after an arrest warrant has been issued can be recruited to the investigation room if he refuses to attend.
However, considering the current presidential status, the investigation team may visit the detention center and investigate President Yoon.
Even if the investigation takes place, President Yoon is expected to refuse to make a statement.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit plans to attempt an additional investigation this week and hand over the case to the prosecution as early as Friday.

Please also tell President Yoon's position.

President Yoon protested the request for an arrest warrant and said, "I will not give up and correct my mistakes in the judicial process in the future."
It is interpreted to mean that they will claim the legality of their arrest to the court and argue whether their arrest was legal, but they have not made a clear decision yet.
I fully understand how angry supporters are about the attack on the court, but I asked them to express their intentions in a peaceful way.
However, some point out that President Yoon, who has been dissatisfied with the judiciary's decision and focused only on gathering supporters, cannot escape the responsibility of the situation.
So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
