◆ Anchor
After the trial, President Yoon did not head to the detention center but went to the hospital for medical treatment. As a result, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit tried to force a detention center to investigate, but they waited for three hours in a detention center. Can I get a sudden hospital treatment?

◇ Lee Goeun
I think it's very exceptional and unusual. Many media are focusing on whether the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit knew about this part when I went to the hospital, but what I am focusing on is that it is difficult for the general public to go to the hospital for some medical examination or light treatment in the short 20-day period when I am arrested, except for this part, whether the suspect is uncomfortable with movement or needs surgery immediately due to terminal cancer.

Of course, it is said that it was approved by the Ministry of Justice, but just before going to the hospital, many people made their own arguments with President Yoon Suk Yeol in good health. He also showed a more active attitude than a lawyer. If so, we can read that there is no discomfort in our daily lives, and under such circumstances, reports say that the Ministry of Justice's permission is correct because it can be read that it was given preferential treatment.

◆ Anchor
We continue to try to forcefully arrest the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, but the attempt has failed. Since we can't even figure out the route to the hospital, isn't the investigation amateurish? Some people are looking at it. What do you think about this?

◇ Lee Goeun
It is true that I am also disappointed in the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. The reason is that if I say I will visit the detained suspect or forcibly detain him, isn't it right for the investigative agency to check the schedule of the person to investigate? Of course, President Yoon Suk Yeol does not seem to give advance notice to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. About going to the hospital. It seems that if I had notified you, I wouldn't have gone and waited at this time.

If so, it seems that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has no choice but to be criticized for going straight to the detention center without checking such a schedule in advance. I have a lot of regrets about this part. Also, it is difficult for me to know why the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is focusing on further investigation, and whether it is a request for an investigation that is profitable. Usually, when an arrest warrant is issued, the investigative agency that issued the arrest warrant may suddenly admit the suspect's change of mind after the arrest warrant is issued, and the suspect who denied the allegation suddenly admits the allegation, so further investigation is needed to confirm the position. However, as a legal professional, I am doubtful that it is beneficial for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to conduct further investigations because I fully understood during the Constitutional Court hearing yesterday that President Yoon Suk Yeol has no change in his position and publicly stated that he will exercise his right to refuse to make statements.
