In the wake of a series of controversies over the use of personal phones, President Yoon Suk Yeol publicly announced last month that he would change his mobile phone.

In the process, the existence of a 'secure mobile phone' was also mentioned.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President (last month, press conference after public statement): I've been told a lot to change my cell phone because I'm still using it. Of course, I have my own security cell phone.]President

Yoon seems to have used this security cell phone to take care of the situation himself during the emergency martial law crisis.

[Kwak Jong-geun / Special Warfare Commander (National Assembly Defense Committee, last 10th): The president called me directly on his phone. 'I don't think the quorum has been filled yet, hurry to break the door and get the people inside out'....]

It was found that the security mobile phone was also used to call Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and order the arrest of key people.

It is highly likely that the same phone was used for calls with other military officials, including Special Forces Commander Kwak Jong-geun, as well as with Hong Jang-won, former first deputy chief of the National Intelligence Service.

[Kim Byung-ki / Rep. of the Democratic Party of Korea (last 6th): 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'....]

As it was used to deliver key instructions, secure cell phones are considered a key clue to the allegations.

President Yoon's security cell phone is reportedly managed by the Presidential Security Service,
As the
Security Department restrained the police on the 11th based on the Criminal Procedure Act's provision that the seizure and search cannot be conducted without consent,
It is predicted that it will not be easy to confiscate President Yoon's security cell phone
.

However, there is also a proviso that the consent cannot be rejected except in cases that harm the interests of the state, so there is a possibility that investigative agencies will seek to secure it in the future.

As investigative agencies speed up their investigation into President Yoon, who is the "peak," attention is being paid to whether they can secure decisive evidence.
