Former Minister Kim Yong-hyun said the note was written by former Minister Kim himself.

In the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest, President Yoon Suk Yeol said that he was confused whether he wrote the note he gave to Choi Sang-mok, the then deputy prime minister for economy, before martial law, or Kim Yong-hyun, the former defense minister.

However, the day after President Yoon was arrested, former Minister Kim said through his lawyer that he was the author of the note.

The note said, 'Plan an emergency legislative body budget,'
If it is interpreted as an intention to replace the
constitutional institution, the National Assembly, it can be an important requirement for the establishment of 'crime of rebellion'.

Former Minister Kim explained that he was the author of the note, and that the content of "planning an emergency legislative body budget" suggested securing a budget based on the emergency financial legislative power.

The administrative budget, which was completely cut by the National Assembly at the time, paralyzed the function of the state administration, and it was suggested to the president to restore it.

[Choi Sang-mok / Then Deputy Prime Minister for Economy and Minister of Strategy and Finance (last month 17th): I felt like a measure based on martial law. I saw a similar document, so I covered it up saying, "Let's ignore this."]

The content of 'page related' was known as the only question of the judge at the time of the substantive examination,
As it is a key element for the formation of the
rebellion crime, intensive investigation is expected to continue in the future investigation of President Yoon.

For every factor that is highly controversial, such as the so-called "Top-Point Note" or the First Proclamation, President Yoon is referring to former Minister Kim, but
It will not be easy to completely avoid responsibility as he is the final decision maker charged with the head of the
Insurrection.
