The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is preparing for a presidential subpoena?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is.
The Airborne Division is reviewing records in preparation for a recall investigation by Yoon Suk Yeol's president.
He appears to be carefully reviewing the data because he is the first sitting president and can be difficult to subpoena twice.
The date of notification of the summons by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is only two days away, but it has been confirmed that President Yoon has not yet received a request for attendance.
As I said, since I am currently in the office, I will need to consult with the security service if I attend, but I understand that there is no such consultation.
While it is unclear whether he will appear on the 25th,
because he has not yet submitted a lawyer appointment.After
, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit seems to be trying to approach carefully, saying that there is nothing discussed at this stage.

To investigate the president, I think we need to investigate former Minister Kim Yong-hyun.
[Reporter]
Yes, former Minister Kim Yong-hyun is one of the key figures in martial law.
This is also the reason why the prosecution secured the first recruits.
He is currently being arrested by the prosecution, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also tried to investigate.
Two days ago, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit attempted to summon former Minister Kim Yong-hyun, but it was found that former Minister Kim refused.
However, former Minister Kim Yong-hyun is responding to the prosecution's summons investigation.

is focused on analyzing your phone.
First of all, we'll focus on identifying who was ordered to turn over the list of 10 detectives, so-called arrest groups,
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's regional investigation team has even created an emergency waiting list of more than 100 people,
Looks like you're going to see who's on top of this.
Director Woo Jong-soo attended the National Assembly's executive committee today to explain the situation at the time.
When he was reported, the list of 10 people had already been transferred after officials from the National Police Agency reported it to the police chief, which means that he was not involved.
The prosecution is also expected to carefully watch the remarks made by the National Security Council today.
