There have been a series of claims that Yoon Suk Yeol's president at the time of martial law has never ordered the arrest of key figures.
As well as the claim that President Yoon called the first deputy director of the National Intelligence Service and instructed him to catch certain people,
[Kim Byung-ki (last 6th) / Minjoo Party Member: Deputy Chief Hong Jang-won was waiting in the NIS' office. It is said that after the end (of the protocol announcement), the (president) called. Take this opportunity to catch everyone. Get it all organized...]
{President Yoon ordered the military to block the National Assembly's vote to lift the emergency martial law.
[Kwak Jong-geun (last 10th) / Special Warfare Commander: The president called me directly on his phone. Hurry up and break the door and pull out the people inside...]
Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho also said the president called Cho six times and ordered him to arrest the lawmakers.
At the time of martial law, there was a testimony that there was an order to arrest and imprison National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, former leader of People's Power Han Dong-hoon, and Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung.
[Kim Dae-woo (last 10th) / Head of investigation at the Defense Security Command: I received direct instructions from Commander Yeo In-hyeong. Make sure there's a facility in the B1 bunker to detain...]
Suspicions have also emerged that there was an order from President Yoon in the background.
[Yeo In-hyeong (last 9th) / Counterintelligence commander: (President Yoon's phone call) I think he asked about the overall situation. [I'm also really puzzled by the martial law]
The President denies the charge of rebellion and claims to have complied with the Constitution, but
Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun,
is said to have stated that President Yoon himself also reviewed the decree, which prohibits all political activities.
Attention is focusing on how President Yoon will express his position in the future investigation process on a series of testimony and statements related to the allegations.
