First, the prosecution notified President Yoon of the second summons, until when did he ask him to appear?

[Reporter]
The special investigation headquarters of the prosecution's emergency martial law again notified President Yoon Suk Yeol this morning to attend the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office for investigation.

The exact timing has not been confirmed, but it is likely that they notified them to attend within this week.

As in the first summons, it is reported that they sent an official letter and a mail attendance request together.

Earlier, the prosecution asked President Yoon to attend the first round on the 11th, but the investigation failed as President Yoon said it was difficult to attend due to the appointment of a lawyer.President Yun

Yoon responds to the prosecution's second request for summons, it will be the first time in constitutional history that an incumbent president attends the prosecution as a suspect.

However, if they continue to refuse to comply with the summons, the prosecution is expected to consider obtaining an arrest warrant from the court and seeking to secure recruits.

The prosecution is speeding up its investigation, and President Yoon's side is also planning to form a defense team and respond?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon's lawyers distributed their first official statement today.

The lawyers are also former prosecutors, and Kim Hong-il, former chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, said he will be the representative of the lawyers.

However, he explained that he is still sorting out his internal position, and that he will announce his position today or tomorrow.

The composition and size of the defense team are also expected to be outlined gradually.

As the prosecution is busy with notifying the prosecution of the second summons, the lawyers are also expected to speed up preparations as soon as they have completed their composition to some extent.

Let's go back to the investigation of the commanders of the military, an arrest warrant has been issued for Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jong-geun?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Central District Military Judicial Court issued an arrest warrant for Kwak Jong-geun, commander of the Special Warfare Command, this afternoon, saying he was concerned about removing evidence or running away.

The military court is currently conducting an interrogation of the suspect before arresting Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command.

In the case of Army Chief of Staff Park An-soo, who was the martial law commander, he will be under arrest from 10 a.m. tomorrow.

They are accused of conspiring with President Yoon, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, and Yeo In-hyeong, commander of the Defense Security Command, to riot for the purpose of national constitution.

The arrest of commander Lee is expected to be decided as early as today.

The commander Lee issued a statement today to deny the allegations, saying he was not aware of the declaration of martial law in advance and thought the order to be dispatched to the National Assembly was also intended to defend the National Assembly.
