President Yoon Suk Yeol, considered the pinnacle of the emergency martial law crisis, did not respond to the request for a second appearance by the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office.

Did President Yoon finally refuse to comply with the investigation?
[Reporter]
Yes, it was well past 10 a.m., when the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit demanded attendance, but President Yoon did not show up in the end.
The building of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is also empty without security personnel in preparation for the presidential investigation.
It seems that this is because there was no specific security plan consultation between the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Presidential Security Service as President
Yoon did not express his intention to attend.It is also predicted to some extent that President
Yoon will not appear.
Earlier, on the 20th, the Joint Investigation Headquarters sent a request for attendance to the official residence and the presidential office, but President Yoon refused to receive mail and did not read electronic official documents.
In addition, lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who is involved in the formation of President Yoon's lawyers, confirmed his intention not to attend yesterday (24th), saying to reporters, "I don't think it will be possible to attend tomorrow."Lawyer Seok explains that President
Yoon intends to respond to the Constitutional Court's impeachment hearings first and then respond to the investigation.Some say that President Yoon
is trying to delay the investigation as it has been confirmed that he has not yet handed over a lawyer to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

This is not the first time that President Yoon's investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has failed,
How will the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit respond in the future,
[Reporter]
There is a high possibility that President Yoon will not appear today, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will wait a little longer.
Most of the investigation team, including Senior Prosecutor Cha Jung-hyun and Chief Prosecutor Oh Dong-woon, are reportedly preparing for possible attendance.President
Yoon has so far refused to comply with the summons of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit twice.
Of course, I didn't respond to the first request for attendance on the 18th.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit believes that President Yoon must be investigated as he is suspected of rebellion and abuse of authority, and is at the peak of the emergency martial law crisis.
Accordingly, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit plans to consider whether to send a third request for attendance to President Yoon or to forcibly secure a recruit by requesting an arrest warrant.
For now, it is known that they are weighing on a new survey date to demand attendance again.
Separately, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will hand over the recruits of Moon Sang-ho, the intelligence commander suspected of "martial protocol" to the military prosecution as early as today.
