As the court issued an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, attention is being paid to whether it will be executed or not.
The president's office declined to say that President Yoon's lawyers would respond, and the security office said that the execution of the warrant would be done in accordance with due process.
I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Cho Yong-sung, please tell us your reaction to the presidential office.

If the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit comes to the residence to execute an arrest warrant, the key is whether the Presidential Security Service will cooperate.
The
Presidential Security Service responded, "I understand that security measures will be taken in accordance with due process regarding the execution of the warrant."
The security service issued this statement shortly after the arrest warrant for President Yoon was issued.
The security agency has been discussing specific countermeasures since the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit previously asked for summons three times and requested an arrest warrant.
At present, it is difficult to judge that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has set a firm policy on whether to block the police from entering the residence where President Yoon is staying.
It may be interpreted that the security service's position is intended to block the warrant issued by the court, but it will be known only when the execution process is actually observed.
The president's office has made no particular position on the issuance of arrest warrants.
The presidential office is not involved in the investigation of President Yoon and the impeachment trial of the Constitutional Court, and the lawyers are responding, and they are not being contacted separately.
The lawyers are also reticent about whether to comply with the arrest warrant, saying they will respond.
So far, I'm YTN Cho Yong Sung in the presidential office.
