The arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol has expired, but

The silence of Acting President Choi Sang-mok continues.

On the 4th, the entire position was that citizens and public officials should not be injured during law enforcement.

It has repeatedly emphasized "economic stability," saying that economic uncertainty at home and abroad is expected to expand due to the domestic political situation.

[Choi Sang-mok / Acting President: The Korean economy is expected to experience significant internal and external uncertainties due to the domestic political situation and the launch of a new U.S. government. We will do our best to overcome uncertainty and manage our economy as stable as possible.]

This theory of economic stability also served as the basis for the appointment of constitutional judges, which is an issue.

The reason was that economic volatility after the martial law crisis could expand.

[Choi Sang-mok / Acting President (Dec. 31 last year): The volatility of the economy triggered by martial law has expanded dramatically since the suspension of the appointment of constitutional judges and the impeachment of the acting president.]

Similarly, the prospect of re-execution of an arrest warrant could recreate the conflict over the security service,
Acting President Choi Sang-mok,
may take a stand on pending issues, but there is still a possibility that he will continue to remain silent.

[Choi Jin / Presidential Leadership Research Institute: Even if you say it, you can talk comprehensively and vaguely. I don't think you'll make any critical decisions or sensitive remarks.]

Attention is focusing more on whether acting Choi Sang-mok, who has distanced himself from political issues, will choose between silence and expressing his position.
