Yoon Suk Yeol's president did not respond to the request for a second appearance in the joint newspaper.
It's a completely different conversation from the one that I was going to confront confidently, but I've tried to find out for some reason.

President Yoon Suk Yeol's 29-minute fourth statement, which came out on the 10th day of martial law, was clear.

However, it was belatedly known that the day before the announcement of the statement, the prosecution notified him to appear as a suspect and be investigated.
It was the first notification of summons in the entire investigative agency, but President Yoon did not come out.
Since then, the request for attendance by the Airborne Division and the police has been virtually ignored, refusing to accept both requests.
It seems to be a strategy of its own to avoid attending investigative agencies due to excessive criticism that the former prosecutor general does not respond to the investigation.

In the case of the impeachment trial, the ostensible reason is that martial law can be explained in public constitutional court hearings.
It's kind of a public opinion battle effect.

Analysts say that at the current pace of the investigation, there are concerns that it could be handed over to trial during the impeachment trial and affect the Constitutional Court's decision.
There is also a glimpse of the intention to respond by seeing the indictment of former Minister Kim Yong-hyun and other military officials who will be prosecuted first.
Some said that it was inevitably delayed because it was difficult to find a lawyer due to the allegations of rebellion and the specificity of the case of impeachment following the declaration of martial law.
President Yun explained that it is a minority elite.
