Lawyers for President Yoon Suk Yeol continue to remain silent on the second summons notice from the Joint Investigation Headquarters.

It is not yet the stage to say whether or not to attend, but we are interested in whether the "Extremely Elasticity Survey" will be conducted.

President Yoon Suk Yeol has repeatedly emphasized that he will stand up to the legal process.

[Seok Dong-hyun / Lawyers for President Yoon Suk Yeol (last 19th): He said he would stand up to the investigation or impeachment. I believe you expressed your willingness to express your position and opinion.

However, he declined to comment on the request for a second appearance by the Emergency Security Joint Investigation Headquarters the next day.

Nothing has been decided yet on whether to respond to the summons on the 25th.

In fact, whether or not the "Christmas Investigation" will take place on the 25th is expected to be a variable, such as whether the summons notice will be served and the issue of presidential security.

Earlier, the government issued a subpoena to President Yoon to attend and be investigated on the 18th, but it was returned as a refusal to receive it.

Another problem is that even if an attendance request is served this time, it may take time for security consultations for safety inspections around the president before summoning him.In a call with YTN, an official of President Yoon's defense team
said, 'In general, investigative agencies coordinate subpoenas with investigators in advance,

The collaboration said it had never coordinated the schedule with the president beforehand.

As the defense team has not been confirmed yet, attention is being paid to whether President Yoon will attend or not before the 25th when the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit notified him of the summons.
