Let's take a look at the execution of President Yoon's arrest warrant from early this morning with Kim Jin, a former editor of the JoongAng Ilbo, and Choi Chang-ryul, a special professor at Yongin University. The situation has been going on since 6 o'clock today, did you watch it?
[Kim Jin]
I watched it. There's a confrontation going on for me as a whole.I think it's a matter of time. Eventually, an arrest warrant is likely to be executed. Because it is the first time in Korean history to execute an arrest warrant for a sitting president, our society cannot accept a situation in which a legitimate arrest warrant issued by a court is not executed due to security or opposition. It's unacceptable. So, the claim that it is an illegal arrest warrant is also weak, and the court has already recognized the right to investigate the rebellion of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the prosecution, right? According to the logic of President Yoon Suk Yeol, the prosecution and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit do not have the right to investigate rebellion, so if the police who have the right to investigate rebellion execute the arrest warrant, there is no justification to reject it.
Then, if the police execute the arrest warrant, they have to comply with the arrest. Is it okay to see a country's president arrested by the police after leaving a high-ranking investigative agency called the prosecution and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit? Therefore, the investigation rights of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the prosecution have already been recognized. And because it is an arrest warrant issued by due process, if it is not executed in Korean society, the consequences and consequences are quite serious. In conclusion, Korean society becomes a society that cannot enforce the law. It takes time for me to judge, but I think the security will eventually step down as I try to execute it today or the next day.
[Anchor]
I will ask the same question to Professor Choi. At around 8 a.m., I succeeded in entering the site of my official residence. It's a little past 12 o'clock, so I think it's been about 4 hours. How did you see the situation this morning?
[Choi Chang Ryul]
I'm not saying that the arrest warrant is illegal. President Yoon is saying that the issuance of an arrest warrant is illegal and that it is illegal and invalid. Another thing is that the subject of the investigation is wrong. The police should investigate, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is investigating. Therefore, they are saying that the warrant itself is illegal. Therefore, he filed a power dispute trial on the issuance of an arrest warrant and filed a provisional injunction for suspension of effect.
In addition, the execution of the warrant has not yet been executed, but the execution has not been executed. I filed an objection. In other words, you are denying the current investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit as a whole. This situation and the other one, President Yoon, refused to attend the prosecution twice. I refused to comply with the request for attendance from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit three times. Accordingly, an arrest warrant was issued because he did not comply with the request for attendance. Some people ask why you issue a warrant when there is no fear of escape and destruction of evidence, but it is about an arrest warrant. An arrest warrant is issued when you refuse to attend.
Also, he issued an arrest warrant because he thought there could be a considerable charge of rebellion and that he would continue to refuse to attend. In other words, the court's issuance of an arrest warrant was legal. I'm just talking about Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act, which are being talked about a lot. That's why we're talking about places and things. In other words, Article 110 states that a place with military secrets, and Article 111 states that a warrant can be denied for an object with confidential information on the job. It's not about people. It's not about an arrest warrant, for now. There's a completely different story in paragraph 2. This consent shall not be refused unless it is in the grave interest of the State.Yes,
In other words, it can be rejected when there is a significant violation of the national interest. Then, the president is trying to execute the warrant with an arrest warrant issued within the Korean judicial system, and it is in the national interest to execute it. This doesn't make sense. President Yoon's lawyers are talking about this, as is the ruling party. I think that's the resistance of the security service. It's not a confrontation right now. That will be difficult to continue to confront. There's so little justification. When a warrant is issued, the court will later question whether the execution was wrong or good. After that, there is a system called quasi-appeal. If the execution goes wrong, you can lift the detention.
You have to follow such legal procedures, but there is another definition of security. Anything that prevents or removes bodily harm and guards and prevents certain areas to protect the life and property of the president. That means you're guarding the president to protect his life and property. It doesn't make sense. There is no harm done to the body. That's not a security guard. It's not a legal term, but in other words, it's like a presidential private. The law on security for the president and others clearly defines security. By that definition, it's not a security guard at all. So there's no way the security chief doesn't know this. I think he's doing that as the security chief right now, but that's just a matter of time. From what I see, it's likely to be executed today.
[Anchor]
It is likely to be carried out today. You've organized the legal battle.
[Kim Jin]
To add two more things, the first is that it is very unnecessary for a judge to issue a warrant and make exceptions to the application of Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act, and I think the security service provided a useless excuse for President Yoon to protest. First of all, all bills, including the Criminal Procedure Act, were made by the National Assembly Legislature. Judges or judiciaries do not have the power to prevent such legislation from being applied. It is an abuse of the power of a judicial judge to ask a judge not to apply this law except for the National Assembly to amend or repeal it if the law is not to be followed. And isn't that a problem on the part of President Yoon? The Supreme Court should decide whether the Western District Court judge's actions were right or wrong in order to prevent the Supreme Court from repeating such choices or regulations in this field in the future.
And the Supreme Court must declare that if something goes wrong, the judge in charge must be disciplined, and such provisions must never be reissued. Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act do not harm the same significant national interests even if they do not provide the provisions, for example, the security chief cannot refuse to search and seizure. Even if the law is left as it is, the security service will not be able to block it. This is because the arrest of the charge of rebellion against the president does not harm the country's significant interests. And one more thing to tell you is that before that, the military unit was mobilized to block the first cordon by mobilizing 55 guards, but didn't the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit say that they pierced it?
In the past, the 55th Guard Corps was called the 30th Guard Corps of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, so it is a subordinate unit under the Defense Acquisition Program Administration that is in charge of close security for the president. the supreme confidence of the regime in the past, the supreme confidence of the president Colonel Chun Doo-hwan, Colonel Roh Tae-woo, and during the Chun Doo-hwan presidency, Colonel Jang Pibrillation. People like this used to be the head of the guard.
Wasn't it the problem of counterintelligence, radiation, and special forces that carried out unfair orders that were criticized during the emergency martial law this time?
However, even if the 55 Guard Corps is under the direction of the security chief, it means that all of them, including the front-line military units that interfere with official duties called legitimate execution of arrest warrants, were collected by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. Then those innocent soldiers will be charged with obstructing the execution of special public affairs again. Then the head of the security department conducts this kind of command. Chief of Security Park Jong-joon is making a very wrong judgment right now. Chief of Security Park Jong-joon was the second in the security office, who served as a deputy chief of the security office during the Park Geun Hye presidency. And he was a politician who served as the chairman of the Sejong City Party of the National Power. He used to be a police officer. And I don't know if this has affected me or not, but I'm from Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do. I'm from the same hometown as President Yoon Suk Yeol's father. This probably worked and became the head of the bodyguard. So, in my judgment, the chief of security is over-loyal. be in excessive behavior Under the security law, this is never a harm to the president. Because it's legitimate law enforcement. So, we should not prevent this, but in my judgment, if we execute it with an arrest warrant because we are politically aware of the power of the president and the people, we cannot immediately give the president to the execution of the warrant. I feel like I'm doing some sort of political action.
From the perspective of the security agency, we cannot make the president arrested immediately politically, rather than holding out because the law, the security law, or the criminal law is right and justifiable. So first of all, it's taking some time, but first of all, it's very weak in law and cause. And just one more thing, Acting Chief Choi Sang-mok has to give the order to the head of the bodyguard. Acting President Choi Sang-mok is not the one who exercises his power as president on behalf of him. Then, the command over the security chief is held by acting chief Choi Sang-mok, not the president of Yoon Suk Yeol. Instead of saying in principle that the related agencies will handle it in accordance with the law and principles, acting authority Choi Sang-mok should instruct the head of the security agency to cooperate with the execution of the arrest warrant.
[Anchor]
Park Jong-joon, the head of the security department, pointed out that we are over-loyal if we summarize it simply because he told us a lot at once. Investigators have asked Chief of Security Park Jong-joon to arrest and search him, but Chief Park is still refusing to allow the search due to the security law and the security area. We are currently showing you the front gate of the presidential residence at this time. On the screen, it looks calm, but there was also a physical fight as I told you earlier. On the right side of the screen, there was news that the president's lawyers arrived and entered the official residence, and we are sending you a related screen. The committee member has now said it, but acting Choi Sang-mok should step up. They pointed it out like this. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also sent an official request for cooperation to Presidential Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok. However, Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok replied that he did not have the authority to direct and supervise.
[Choi Chang Ryul]
The presidential chief of staff does not have the authority to direct and supervise. But you're the acting president. Acting President Choi Sang-mok can act as the acting president. You vetoed the court. And now you exercised your right to appoint two judges of the Constitutional Court. They're exercising their authority quite actively. Acting Prime Minister Han Deok-soo was impeached because he did not appoint a judge because he said he could not actively exercise his authority. This person is actively exercising. There will be no law on the president's bodyguard. There will be no such thing as an acting president being able to exercise command over the security office. There can't be everything. How do you regulate everything in the world by law? Nevertheless, it's a righteousness. I can rely on the work of the acting president.
In other words, the security service is protecting the president's personal safety. I told you the definition of security. Isn't Acting Chief Choi Sang-mok in a serious situation? An arrest warrant is issued by the Korean judicial system. If the issuance goes wrong, the court will correct it later. What grounds and what authority can the defense and escort of the president conclude that this is illegal? I can't get it straight here. There are several procedures for this through a quasi-appeal process later through the court. The Korean judicial system is guaranteed. I think the acting president can command the security service in this situation where all of this is denied to the security service. I can cooperate rather than conduct.
Because some of the authorities are completely stipulated in the law.There's something I can do with my mind. Acting President Choi Sang-mok can say that this does not correspond to security under the Security Act. An arrest warrant has been issued, but it is not being executed. For the wrong reasons, he is claiming the issuance and execution of arrest warrants illegally and claiming invalidity, and he is not claiming the subject of the investigative agency. We can talk about it here. Because he's acting president. It's too passive.
Look at this situation. I think the arrest warrant will eventually be executed. I think it can be executed today as well. I don't know when it will be, but I'm sure it will be executed, so we talk a lot about this. In the past, Rep. Lee In-je and Rep. Han Hwa-gap talk a lot, but he is not a crime of rebellion. The word "confrontation" doesn't even fit. It's not a confrontation. It's a confrontation when it's equal. This is an overwhelmingly legitimate warrant. It's a legitimate warrant, but it's an illegal resistance here. It's not a confrontation. That's what we often say.Ma is therefore illegally resisting a legitimate warrant.
Acting President Choi Sang-mok can talk about this as well, why can't he? That's how Acting President Choi said that as the acting president of the Republic of Korea. Didn't you say you were appointing him for the sake of the economy? This is the problem. Why are you being passive? An arrest warrant was issued, but it couldn't be executed, so if it can't be executed and you're just arrested, you'll be prosecuted. If that happens, the judicial system of the Republic of Korea will collapse. Democracy has already gone back 45 years and the clock of history has been turned back, and this is not an arrest warrant, but an arrest warrant is not properly executed? I can't imagine that. Can I or Kim Jin do that if an arrest warrant is issued? It's exactly stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. All citizens are equal before the law. People who are protesting as if it's natural, but it's not natural at all. It's a huge illegality. Even the security service staff shouldn't do that, and of course, the radiation.
[Anchor]
There's also a story like this. Some say that it would be more appropriate for the president to come out confidently at this point and be investigated by himself, but what do you think is the possibility?
[Kim Jin]
I think it's very unlikely and I think that argument is quite poor. I talked about acting president Choi Sang-mok a while ago, but the security chief should not make a request, but order the security chief to act as acting president. Acting President, if all state agencies in the Republic of Korea do not comply with law enforcement, they should instruct them to follow suit. That's the power and duty of acting president. And in terms of President Yoon Suk Yeol, President Yoon has been a prosecutor all his life. How many arrest warrants would he have asked for? During the Choi Soon-sil Special Prosecutor's Office, prosecutor Han Dong-hoon also filed an arrest warrant for both President Park Geun Hye and those involved in Choi Soon-sil and thoroughly did so, right?
By the way, did you do anything to prevent the execution of an arrest warrant or an arrest warrant issued by a lifetime request? There won't be any as a prosecutor in Korea. Then, above all, law and order should be respected as a prosecutor-turned-president. And I'm telling you this over and over again.Ma said, "These men who followed the orders of the commander of the counterintelligence, the commander of the defense, and the commander of the special forces are actually being prosecuted for following the orders. The same goes for the bodyguard. The security service is in danger of becoming a criminal of obstruction of justice in that way due to misinterpretation of the security law and misjudgment while looking at President Yoon Suk Yeol.
because of one's own problems for what one made at one's own judgment Should the president create a situation where all these people, such as the inclement special warfare, the radiation, and the counterintelligence commanders, are all brought to justice, and the security chief is also brought to justice? I really don't think this is the case in terms of justification. To sum up the various situations, an arrest warrant will eventually be executed, but I'll tell you again, Korea, is not a society that can tolerate a situation where the law becomes hot pants because the arrest warrant is not executed.
It is a society in which courts, media, society, and political systems must be executed today or tomorrow to allow this society to run. Let's say it can't be executed this time. Then the issuance of arrest warrants for the incumbent president will stop in the future, and this is a sanctuary that shouldn't be allowed. Can Korean society tolerate this? Since an arrest warrant will be executed and arrested anyway, don't forcefully interpret the law by going back to the days when Yoon Suk Yeol was the last prosecutor general of Yoon Suk Yeol when he served the country or became the president with his pride or confidence. So you're going to be arrested at the hands of the police, not the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit or the prosecution?
It's strange that the police claim to have the right to investigate rebellion. If you are the president of a country, you have to be arrested by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit or the prosecution. So in terms of justification, it should be done, but would the president who said he would fight until the end yesterday make such a choice? I don't think I'm going to do it.
[Anchor]
He pointed out that the police have only the right to investigate the rebellion, so will they be arrested by the police, and it is better to proudly investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit now than that. I'm showing you what's in front of the presidential residence at this time. On the outside, it looks calm, but there is a confrontation in here right now. About 150 people, including 30 from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and 120 from the Police Special Forces, were involved in the execution of the arrest warrant. Among them, 30 people from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and 50 police officers entered the jurisdiction.
It is said that the remaining 70 police officers and others were waiting outside the official residence, and some were added. And just a moment ago, lawyer Yoon Gap-geun and former chairman of the Korea Communications Commission Kim Hong-il, that is, the lawyers of President Yoon's side, were shown entering the official residence. Lawyer Yoon Gap-geun also claimed that he is a current offender for abusing his authority and obstructing the execution of public affairs and can arrest any citizen as well as the security service.
[Choi Chang Ryul]
It doesn't make sense. How can you say that when lawyer Yoon Gap-geun even went as far as Daegu High Prosecutor's Office? Citizens don't know that.
[Anchor]
The execution of the warrant itself is invalid.
[Choi Chang-ryul]
I insisted that it didn't make sense in itself. Furthermore, aren't you saying that the warrant itself is illegal and invalid, and that you can now be arrested by citizens? Did someone who misheard that and supported the president stop the police or arrest the police? It's a red-handed arrest. What authority does a citizen have to make an arrest? Lawyer Yoon Gap-geun's words are not legal terms at all. How can a citizen arrest him? In the past, a citizen arrested someone. It's a crime of illegal arrest and imprisonment. Now I'm going to kill even a innocent citizen. I'm talking too much. In other words, not everyone in the Daegu High Prosecutor's Office is doing it even though he is a competent lawyer because he is trying to protect the president.
It's like a prosecutor. I don't understand him saying that. So even if I went out, I went out too much. I don't know what I'll say later. So this is an extreme situation. It's not a normal situation. An arrest warrant has been issued now, so it's been more than four hours since you tried to execute it. That's how the security services of the Republic of Korea are confronting the police, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and the investigators. It's covered all over the world. We're not the only ones watching. It's not enough to be serious, so people who are close to him, people who are agents, and people who are lawyers say things like that. Torturing supporters. What are you fighting about on New Year's Day?
Are you saying that the act of sovereignty is a court? Are you saying it's the opposition party? I will protect the Republic of Korea because it is in danger against the invasion of sovereignty and anti-state forces. Lawyers there go one step further and arrest citizens. You can make an arrest. It's not a threat, it's not an incitement... It's almost an incitement. I just don't use political rhetoric because I'm not a politician, but this is not incitement, what is incitement? Representative Park Chan-dae mentioned that.
When I talked about Park Chan-dae, I criticized Lee Jae-myung for being bulletproof.Ma is talking about the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea. have a bad taste That's what I said. There are times when people say this, really. Aren't they the people who served as the prosecutor general of the Republic of Korea, the president, and the Daegu High Prosecutor's Office? Do these people have to do it like this? I can protect the president, because I'm free in my heart. Do I have to do it like this? Apart from criticism, as a citizen, as a Korean citizen, this is too shameful. You're going all over the world, so listen to what you're talking about overseas. You can't do this, really.
[Anchor]
As you told me about President Yoon's letter, I am watching it on YouTube in real time when I deliver the contents of the letter to my supporters on January 1st. The Republic of Korea is in danger because of the invasion of sovereignty and anti-state forces. I sent a letter saying, "Let's cheer up." I started with patriotic citizens and sent a letter to my supporters. It may be a human apology because it's cold, but if so, please go home and wait for it. It would have been better if I had said this, but why did I say, "Let's cheer up more?" I think this is being pointed out.
[Kim Jin]
In some surveys, 70% of the public are arguing that the president should be impeached. And 25 to 26 percent oppose impeachment. Then the presidential approval rating went up a little after Yoon Suk Yeol said he would fight to the end, according to some surveys. So let's say that 25 to 30 percent of conservatives oppose and will protect the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol by setting a maximum. President Yoon Suk Yeol seems to be making some judgments. More than in the early days of martial law, why I declared martial law and what I think is the nature of the situation and what I said I would fight to the end worked a bit, so my approval rating rebounded a bit.
Then I think I'm kind of hoping that if I get 30% maximum and keep that 30% solid support so that I resist to the end and have a legal battle and fight, there might be some breakthrough. However, President Yoon will naturally think that he needs some kind of outside support from such supporters, such as demonstrations and rallies, because he has a legal struggle and his own legal struggle is not enough. That's why I do it like that. Again, in reality, this is only a matter of time, and contrary to President Yoon Suk Yeol's wishes, it is unlikely to have a significant real influence.
It is quite self-evident that an arrest warrant will be requested within 48 hours if arrested today or in the next execution. It is almost certain that an arrest warrant will be issued for President Yoon Suk Yeol, the chief of such rebellion charges, because former Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who was classified as a B-level important worker, and the commanders of counterintelligence, special warfare, and radiation were all arrested. Then, President Yoon Suk Yeol has no choice but to argue in the substantive examination of the arrest warrant.
However, the current atmosphere, various legal principles that have been released so far, and various things that have been stated in the indictment against Minister Kim Yong-hyun. I'll break the door and go in. Or at least shoot the door and go in and pull it out. And the idea of setting up such an emergency legislative meeting, such as the emergency legislative body and the national high-ranking legislative meeting that Minister Chun Doo-hwan did, came out in testimony and documents. Then, there is a high possibility that President Yoon Suk Yeol will be defeated in the actual examination of the arrest warrant. Then you're eventually arrested and investigated for rebellion. While in custody, they will undergo a Constitutional Court hearing.
Then, in my judgment, when he was impeached during the Park Geun Hye presidency, several people were killed at a large-scale opposition rally. However, the controversy that President Park Geun Hye should be impeached was much worse than President Yoon Suk Yeol. Should he be impeached for such bribery and abuse of power? Therefore, the voices, influence, and physical power of the opponents of impeachment were considerably stronger than they are now. However, the allegations of rebellion, the emergency martial law, and other evidence that President Yoon has shown, and these excuses are much less convincing than those of President Park Geun Hye. So, according to opinion polls, nearly 30% of President Yoon's support may come out, but if President Yoon is actually imprisoned and arrested, the physical power of rallies and demonstrations will be considerably weaker than that of President Park Geun Hye.
[Anchor]
Nevertheless, if President Yoon Suk Yeol is arrested, it is said that as time goes by, supporters gather and make intense resistance. Because the resistance of this supporters is stronger. Isn't it the physical collision that we're most concerned about? It could spread in that direction...
[Choi Chang-ryul]
I think there will be a limit. There are 5,000 protesters right now. Some even lie down. You broke through the cordon today. It's a relief that nothing happened. They are also completely immersed in the opposition to impeachment, and public opinion will be formed if you look at them one by one. However, in this situation, there is no justification for their anti-impeachment protests and anti-arrest protests. From my analysis, it's not because martial law doesn't lead the way. He was very willing. Why isn't this working? Our young people are the most powerful elite 707 Special Task Force. It wasn't in the past 79 years or 80s then on December 12th. It's been 45 years. I can't do that.
Shouldn't the soldiers act in practice at the end? I couldn't get into the plenary session, even though I was told to pull it out. The same goes for our people. He'll feel like he's protesting and opposing like that. Of course, I'm worried. It's not like there's no fear of physical conflict at all. If an arrest warrant is executed and the president comes out, he will block it. It's just that the police don't collide in detail and don't hurt them. Nevertheless, because of them, the arrest warrant cannot be executed and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit cannot be reached, and I don't think it will be that way.
[Anchor]
Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun and former Rep. Kim Min also participated in the anti-impeachment rally, which Professor Choi pointed out that there was no justification. Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun said yesterday, "President Yoon is the system of the Republic of Korea itself. I've said this, so how should I take it?
[Kim Jin]
Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun and former Rep. Kim Min are key confidants of the pro-Yoon Kye High School President Yoon. And from the beginning of the situation, during the president of Park Geun Hye, he was hard opposed to impeachment. Isn't Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun a person who called the president of Park Geun Hye a sister? The context of that time continues. However, there are always some politicians who do some extreme things in any situation, so it's not a big surprise that Yoon Sang-hyun and Kim Min-jeon have that kind of presence again this time.
However, the arguments they make are not very convincing. For example, in the case of former lawmaker Kim Min, many Chinese people can be seen at anti-impeachment rallies. Didn't we talk about this, too? The kind of anti-China that President Yoon Suk Yeol claims, for example, President Yoon Suk Yeol said that in his public statement. In some cases, a Chinese man filmed the NIS with a drone. These are the things that I said to argue for national security and national security by anti-state forces, and I left it out later.Ma first claimed that the president's foreign policy was anti-North Korea, anti-China, and anti-Russia, which was harming national interests when he was writing the impeachment inquiry in the Democratic Party.
So, President Yoon Suk Yeol is wary of China, and these are very reasons and grounds for President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law, and there are weak arguments that there are many Chinese people participating in anti-impeachment rallies. And Representative Yoon Sang-hyun refers to anti-state forces as a representative. However, there are three reasons why President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law: anti-state forces, rigged elections, and parliamentary paralysis. If you look at the arguments of anti-state forces, I think this is what I think.
Organizations that were previously identified as anti-state organizations by the Korean Federation, the courts. And because of the recent spy case related to the KCTU and the Changwon area, spy groups linked to North Korea are still active in Korean society, and the underground party linked to North Korea, that is, the underground party that exists outside the legal framework to overthrow the system of Korean society, but it has always existed and what could be called the quasi-action of anti-state forces when the president declared martial law. I'm not very convincing in that part either.
[Anchor]
On the screen now, Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun is sending you an image of his arrival at the presidential residence this morning. President Yoon's lawyer, Yoon Gap-geun, and Kim Hong-il, as you saw earlier, arrived at the president's residence. Representative Yoon Sang-hyun also appears to have entered the residence this morning. Inside the building, the lawyer and President Yoon appear to be discussing how to deal with it. Outside the building, the confrontation between the security service staff and the police continues.
[Anchor]
Lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun, didn't you go in the morning? Professor, what did we talk about when we went in?
[Choi Chang Ryul]
I don't know exactly what lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun said over there, but he probably told the president that. It doesn't matter what you say to the president, but you have to endure it until the end. It's outside our supporters. Wouldn't you have said that your approval rating is going up a bit? First of all, I think this is the strategy. Doesn't that mean that the impeachment trial should come before the investigation of rebellion? That argument doesn't fit either. He said that saying that shouldn't be appointed with the Constitutional Court. It's an unpredictable logic. I think I have a faint hope that the investigation could be postponed and the arrest warrant could be blocked if possible, and that this could be dismissed by going to the impeachment trial.
I think they're saying let's investigate after that. As I said, it's almost impossible. The Republic of Korea has shown a backward state after martial law was invoked.Ma has been issued a warrant, but how can he not execute it? There's no way. That's something the president has no choice but to accept and will accept.
[Anchor]
We talked with the two about the execution of arrest warrants that began at 6 a.m. today. Kim Jin, a former editorial writer of the JoongAng Ilbo, and Choi Chang-ryul, a special professor at Yongin University. Thank you both.
