Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who is participating in the formation of President Yoon's lawyers, met with reporters today.
At the meeting, lawyer Seok said he thought it would be difficult for President Yoon to attend the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit tomorrow.

However, he said he would not participate in the investigation after the conclusion of the impeachment trial, adding that he would comply with the investigation process when the time comes.
President Yoon's investigation, which was scheduled for tomorrow, is expected to fail, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is internally reviewing what measures to take afterwards.
We cannot rule out the possibility that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will notify us of additional summons or request an arrest warrant immediately, but the observation that it will seek an arrest warrant is gaining weight.
Oh Dong-woon, the head of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, will appear today at the National Assembly's Legislative and Judiciary Committee, and attention is being paid to whether he will announce specific countermeasures.

Each agency's investigation into emergency martial law cases is also ongoing, right?
[Reporter]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is investigating additional information commander Moon Sang-ho, who has secured a new recruit since 2 p.m. today.
It is expected to investigate the background of plotting martial law with former intelligence commander Roh Sang-won, who is a civilian, and the background of trying to create a separate organization, "Investigation 2nd Stage" after martial law.
At the same time, the prosecution will conduct a summons investigation on former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who is about to expire on the 28th.
As he is a key suspect and is expected to be prosecuted soon, he seems to be focusing on strengthening the charges.
Former Minister Kim's side plans to make a detailed statement through a press conference before the indictment.
The prosecution plans to investigate Kim Bong-sik, head of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, who was sent to custody today.
So far, the airlift has delivered it to you.
