He urged the president to comply with the summons, saying that if the presidential security service blocks the execution, it could be charged with obstructing the execution of special public affairs.

Has Director of Airborne Oh Dong-woon announced the timing of the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon?
[Reporter]
Oh Dong-woon, head of the Airborne Division, met with reporters on his way to work this morning (1st) and said, "We can't disclose the specific date and time of execution."
However, he said he would execute an arrest warrant and a search warrant for President Yoon by the 6th, the expiration date of the warrant.
He then asked President Yoon to comply with the summons of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit because he would strictly enforce the law but keep manners.
Let's listen to it for ourselves.
[Dongwoon Oh / Senior Civil Servant Crime Investigation Director: We will strictly enforce the law but also keep our manners, so we hope you will comply with the summons of our Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.]
On President Yoon's position that the arrest warrant was invalid because he did not have the right to investigate the rebellion at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, Director Oh drew the line, saying that the discussion on the right to investigate ended with the court's decision to issue the warrant.President Yoon
said he/she understood that it is not a legitimate right remedy procedure when he/she filed an application for a power dispute trial and a provisional injunction to suspend the validity of the warrant.
In addition, he said he hopes the impeachment and arrest rally near his official residence will proceed without much trouble, but explained that he is discussing mobilizing manpower with the police in case of an unexpected incident.

Yoon's warrant states that the execution of the warrant cannot be prevented on the grounds of military and official secrets?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Seoul Western District Court was found to have issued an arrest and search warrant for President Yoon and indicated the statement to the effect that Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act were excluded.
The clause stipulates that a place where military secrets or official secrets need to be kept cannot be seized and searched without the consent of the person in charge.
It was also the legal basis for the presidential security service to refuse to search and seizure of the presidential office or the house in Samcheong-dong,
As the
court stated that this provision could not be applied, the security service lost its justification for refusing to execute the warrant.Director
Oh also said he sent an official letter to the security service warning that if he blocks the execution of the warrant, he could be punished for obstructing the execution of special public affairs.Listen to
[Dongwoon Oh / Senior Civil Servant Crime Investigation Director: We have already sent an official letter. He warned that he could be convicted of obstructing the exercise of rights to abuse his authority and obstructing the execution of special public affairs.]
However, President Yoon's side still maintains that the arrest warrant itself is illegally invalid,
It seems difficult to completely rule out the possibility of a conflict if actual execution takes place.
