Let's take a look at the execution of President Yoon's arrest warrant today with lawyer Kim Kwang-sam. Welcome. It's been going on since 6 a.m. today, have you looked through it?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
I've looked at the timeline as a whole. It can be said that the first cordon line barricade, that part, went through without much interruption. Wouldn't the second round have an iron gate in the official residence? I think they opened the iron door purely. It seems that the bus was stopped and the car wall was almost built. It also seems to have passed through it over time. As a result, it seems to be blocked by whether you can enter the official residence or not. So, it seems unclear from the contents in various media whether they are confronting the soldiers or the employees of the security service at the Capital Defense Command. First of all, I saw earlier that Yoon Gap-geun, lawyer Ralji, lawyer Kim Hong-il, and before that, lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun. So why did these people go in? We can infer that. There is a possibility that a compromise will come out.

That's why the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was unable to enter the official residence and continued to be like that, and in particular, soldiers from the Capital Defense Command were dispatched. Then you'll be a member of the security service. If the soldiers say they're blocking it, it's going to be very hard to get in. Then, I think there is a possibility that the president will suggest something. So didn't you get two lawyers in? Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun went in. So I'll appear voluntarily next time.

[Anchor]
You're going to set a date and run on your own?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
There is a possibility of withdrawal after consultation. Then we have no choice but to push it in with physical force. Since additional police forces have been deployed, I think the part of whether to push in and arrest them based on this force is quite at the boundary right now.

[Anchor]
If the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit blocks the execution of a warrant to the security office, it can be punished for dereliction of duty or obstruction of the execution of special public affairs. Didn't you send an official letter like this? If the actual security staff continue to resist like this, they will be subject to legal punishment later, right?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
Of course, I can. The duty of security itself is the Presidential Security Act. According to the law, it is the duty of the security service to prevent or eliminate harm to protect property and life, including the president or the president's family. But now, the arrest warrant itself is not intended to harm, but to legally execute it, so in fact, it is not the duty of the security service to prevent the arrest warrant itself. However, in practice, it has no choice but to be seen as exercising realistic power and physical force. So if you go further from here, it could be obstruction of justice, or obstruction of special justice. It will interfere with the execution of special services.

Because if several people interfere, it can interfere with the execution of special public affairs, or if they carry and interfere with various dangerous objects and weapons, it can interfere with the execution of special public affairs. Of course, I think that's possible. Then, according to the law on security, there is a separate crime of abuse of authority. In addition to the crime of abuse of authority in the criminal law. If the head of the security service makes him protect illegally like that now, there is room for punishment for abuse of authority under the Security Service Act or abuse of authority under the criminal law.

[Anchor]
If I explain the screen, it's near the presidential residence at this time. From Hannam-daero to Namsan Tunnel, there are quite a lot of supporters on Hannam-daero. There are a lot of people on the land bridge. Hundreds of supporters of the president have gathered around the residence since dawn, and there are breaking news that supporters are rallying near the residence. Fortunately, it is said that there has been no major collision so far. As I told you earlier, more than 2,700 experiences from 45 units of the task force have been deployed.

[Anchor]
As you can see from the screen, you can see a lot of supporters and police coming together. The police are barricading themselves to prevent accidents and continuing to force them to avoid physical collisions if possible. The lawyer just said that in the case of a physical conflict or related cases, legal punishment can be imposed later. So, if you just block the door and don't let it in, that kind of passive behavior is also a physical conflict, can you consider it like this?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
Of course, in the case of obstruction of public affairs, there should be assault or intimidation, in general. However, assault and intimidation itself are not direct, but also indirect. That's why it's being reported in the media that there was even a physical fight. The physical fight itself is an indirect exercise of physical force. So I think it could interfere with the execution of special public affairs. Personally, if the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit intends to execute an arrest warrant against the president today, it should disband the security guards who are blocking him. There's no way we can break it up. Then a lot of police personnel go in and arrest them right on the spot. Then you can break through that cordon. Will the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit be able to do that? I think we should watch that.

[Anchor]
I'm talking with lawyer Kim Kwang-sam about the confrontation between the security service staff and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. We will connect the field reporters to find out more about the situation on the ground. As I have repeatedly told you, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police have executed an arrest warrant for President Yoon. The confrontation between the police and the security office of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has been going on for more than four hours. As reporter Bae Min-hyuk told me, supporters are rallying now and it's a very heated atmosphere. I think the tension is rising. The president claims that it is illegal for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to launch an arrest attempt by mobilizing the National Police Agency. It can be seen as a controversy over investigative rights, right?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
From the president's point of view, he does everything he can. But I personally feel very sorry, of course, I requested a warrant from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and I also requested the Western District Court, not the Central District Court. On top of that, the judge wrote about Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act that this is not applicable, creating controversy in a way. So it wasn't appropriate in itself, so look at it like this. However, how long will the president stay in his official residence and obstruct the execution of official duties? That is not desirable for a sitting president. And isn't the state of affairs so chaotic and paralyzed?

Then you have to solve this yourself. It's not right to respond in this way for your personal safety. The supporters are cheering outside, but the cheering of those supporters is not the opinion of the majority of the people. Then, if you came in to execute an arrest warrant to execute public affairs, the president must respond to it with a big victory. That's why I'm volunteering.He has to show such a bold attitude as to whether he wants everyone to leave because he or I will take responsibility for it, but from the public's point of view, it has no choice but to look like he is hiding in his official residence in Yongsan. And then how do you ask for support from the people? Furthermore, in my view, if you look at yesterday's letter itself, you are not the president of the Republic of Korea, but rather the head of the asphalt power.

So if you really say that the warrant of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is wrong, isn't the warrant already issued? Then, this should be tried in court and the validity of the warrant should be considered. But I said I filed an objection, but in fact, there is no system called an objection. As for a warrant or arrest warrant. Similarly, a quasi-appeal can be filed against a disposition regarding detention. A quasi-appeal can also be seen as a kind of objection. However, it is not true that everything is illegal, but it is not true to file an objection that is not in the legal system. Why do we have a judiciary and a constitutional court?

It means that the Yoon Suk Yeol as a suspect and the Yoon Suk Yeol as a respondent to the Constitutional Court guarantee the rights to all of these and claim them there, and then there is a judicial system and a separation of powers to be judged. Then, as a president, of course, he's an incumbent president. Although I was suspended from my job. I have to respect this, but I can't easily understand such things while living in Yongsan using security services in that way.

[Anchor]
If Yoon Suk Yeol's president continues to use a strategy of holding out like that without responding to investigations or arrests, won't he face an impeachment trial later? I think it could have an adverse effect on the impeachment trial, what do you think?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
First of all, the impeachment trial is continuing to endure and the investigation is also enduring. I'm holding out for the execution of the warrant. So, is the impeachment trial itself a violation of constitutional law by judging? So what's important now is that we are the most important reason for the impeachment trial regarding emergency martial law, right? Whether or not it is a crime of rebellion, even if it is not a crime of rebellion, it is a judgment on whether the emergency martial law is a violation of the Constitution and the law. President Yoon's current actions, in a way, unconvincing actions, failure to reflect, are not trials in the courts, so the court's trial is a sentence-setting trial, and the Constitutional Court's judgment is either dismissed or cited. Because it's a legal judgment, in fact, there's room for those actions to be sentenced more heavily as a reason for normalcy when they're tried later in connection with the crime of rebellion.

[Anchor]
I'm showing the arrival of the president's lawyer on the screen. Lawyer Yoon Gap-geun and former chairman of the Korea Communications Commission Kim Hong-il enter the official residence on the right side of the screen. The left side of the screen shows the presidential residence. We haven't seen anything special yet. Anyway, President Yoon is not coming out, and we don't know how long this situation will continue. Let's assume that President Yoon's whereabouts have been secured and look after that. If the arrest warrant is executed today, how will the investigation be conducted? Since he is an incumbent president, he will be treated with respect. Please compare.

[Kim Kwang Sam]
Once you're secured and arrested, there's not much to be treated with respect. If we get a new recruit today, we will take him to the office of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in Gwacheon. And we'll do the research there. I'm not going to do the first survey and finish with the first survey, but I'm going to do a few surveys. And after today's investigation, he will be detained in Seoul Detention Center. Then, there is a possibility that President Yoon will refuse to accept it because he will not accept it.

And if an arrest warrant is executed, you must seek an arrest warrant if you want to release him within 48 hours of the execution or continue to detain him. We call this a pre-warrant of a general warrant, and then requesting a warrant while in custody is called a post-war warrant. Then you're asking for a post-mortem warrant. The court will decide whether to issue a warrant or not. Also, if the warrant is not issued, it will eventually return to the Yongsan residence.

If a warrant is issued, they may be investigated in custody at the Seoul Detention Center. Now, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the authority to investigate and prosecute President Yoon. So, if a warrant is issued by the court after requesting a warrant within 48 hours of an arrest warrant for President Yoon, it can be considered that they have about 20 days to investigate. First, the prosecution and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will do it within 20 days, but the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will investigate for about 10 days, and the prosecution will investigate for 10 days. So this is also legally ambiguous.

It's not clear. Then, if a warrant is issued, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will investigate for about 10 days and then transfer the case to the prosecution. If the prosecution tries to prosecute, if there is any lack of investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, it is highly likely that it will be prosecuted after attaching it as evidence or further investigation. After that, the trial will continue while in custody. If you say you are not arrested, you are likely to be tried without detention.

[Anchor]
To summarize the investigation, the prosecution summoned him twice. And he refused, and after that, the transferred airlift called him three times, but all of them refused to comply and have been issued an arrest warrant. As the lawyer said, an arrest warrant must be requested and issued within 48 hours after arrest. Shouldn't the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit pursue it like this because they have some confidence in the investigation?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
The arrest warrant's deadline is 48 hours. In most cases, an arrest warrant is presupposed when an arrest warrant is requested and issued. Because 48 hours is very short. Besides, I have night time. So, you have to be ready to request an arrest warrant to issue an arrest warrant. So that's not the case in general. In general cases, when I arrested and investigated, it was not a big deal, but I couldn't admit the crime. Or the charges are too minor, then we'll release them. So I investigate and then make a decision, but isn't this a case about the president?

Moreover, the highest court sentence stipulated by the criminal law is the crime of rebellion. So, in this case, of course, when an arrest warrant is issued, arrest is premised. In addition, because time is too short to request a warrant within 48 hours, he has already completed preparations to request an arrest warrant and has started executing an arrest warrant. You can see it like this.

[Anchor]
It is said that there are hundreds of questionnaires prepared after preparing devices for video and audio recording. There's a news that it's about 200 pages of questionnaire, but is this level of preparation good? What do you think?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
I don't know about that. I don't know what happened internally, but there is a lot of evidence against President Yoon in this case itself. Because these people have already made statements about whether it's former Minister Kim Yong-hyun, then Lee Jin-woo, commander of the water defense command, or Kwak Jong-geun, commander of special forces. Furthermore, there are statements made by people like Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Jo Ji-ho or Seoul Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kim Bong-sik as they were arrested. Regarding this, the president or former minister Kim Yong-hyun also said that they received all the instructions, and since we have secured such things as transcripts and phone calls, in my opinion, we don't have enough evidence when it comes to requesting a warrant. I don't think so.

[Anchor]
Is there any legitimate legal complaint procedure for President Yoon to make a choice in the current situation? Is there anything you can legally reject, for example, apart from an arrest warrant or something like this without simply answering future investigations?

[Kim Kwang-sam]
There's nothing you can object to about an arrest warrant. Then, on the premise that you have been arrested, if you request an arrest warrant, there is a warrant review. From there, lawyers will come out and argue with the president about why they should be detained. So, if one is dismissed, he will be tried without detention, but if he is arrested, he can claim an arrest suit again. However, once you are arrested, there is little possibility that this will be accepted if you request a suitability, look at it like this.

[Anchor]
We are showing you the due objection procedure you mentioned graphically. We showed you the semi-appeal procedure graphically. It is a possible procedure after the execution of an arrest warrant, and detention can be canceled after the judge decides. If it is rejected, you have another chance to request it again. And in the case of prior objections and competency dispute trials, President Yoon has raised them. The legal profession says it is not a normal procedure for disobedience. Looking at the investigation of those around them, 19 stars have been imprisoned these days. There's something like this, too.

Too many soldiers are in custody. Commander Park An-soo of martial law and Special Forces Commander Kwak Jong-geun were indicted today. Yeo In-hyeong counterintelligence commander Lee Jin-woo was indicted on the 31st of last month. Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun was indicted on the 27th of last month. Prior to that, former minister Kim Yong-hyun's lawyer held a press conference, but rather like defending the president, the former minister Kim Yong-hyun did everything and the president did not know. There was also a press conference like this. In addition, former Minister Kim Yong-hyun sent a message saying, "Please protect the president for a free Korea in prison." What do you think it means?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
You're asking me to protect the president, but who protects the president? It's not a situation where you can protect the president. Some people who violate the law, fall under the crime of rebellion, and are in the impeachment trial, but they cannot protect the president. As a result, I have no choice but to go legally. Then the president should make legal preparations, not rely on some of those who support him. There is a case where your argument is accepted and you will get good results, otherwise you will have to live in a detention center for quite a long time.

That's why the president should respect the judicial system, and so should the president and the ruling party. So far, you've criticized a lot about whether it's an impeachment of the Democratic Party of Korea's judicial system. But since it's his own work, I think that a very ironic situation is unfolding where they refuse to do it. There is no way to protect the president except to make a legitimate argument and be accepted by the judicial system.

[Anchor]
While we're talking, a breaking news comes in and we'll deliver it to you. President Yoon's side was scheduled to hold an impeachment trial today. The news is that six deputies will attend the impeachment trial today. Bae Bo-yoon and a lawyer Bae Jin-han are expected to attend the impeachment trial instead. Choi Geo-hoon, Seo Sung-gun, Do Tae-woo, and Kim Gye-ri seem to have been appointed. It was scheduled for 2 p.m. a little later, but I told you that there is also a process like this related to the impeachment trial.

[Anchor]
I'll give it to you again. The preparation date for the second hearing of the impeachment trial is scheduled for 2 p.m. today. President Yoon's side said six representatives of the impeachment trial will attend today. Lawyer Bae Bo-yoon and Bae Jin-han told you earlier. The president has newly appointed lawyers Choi Geo-hoon, Seo Sung-gun, Do Tae-woo, and Kim Gye-ri, breaking news that a total of six representatives will attend today. Lawyer Yoon Gap-geun arrived at Hannam-dong's official residence as I told you earlier. He is also a criminal case lawyer, so he seems to be preparing for execution. So lawyer Yoon Gap-geun will not appear at the Constitutional Court today. Today, we broke the news that six lawyers for President Yoon will attend the impeachment hearing preparation period. Today is the second hearing preparation period, lawyer. What will be an issue in the second hearing preparation period?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
First of all, nothing was done in the first hearing preparation period. That's why we have to sort out the issues today, and then the petitioner, the impeachment committee member and lawyer of the National Assembly, will attend. Originally, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee should do it, but lawyers for the claimant, who are agents, will participate. The president's lawyers I mentioned earlier will participate. We will listen to your opinions in today's procedure and sort out the issues that we couldn't do last time. And how to conduct evidence-related investigations in the future. First of all, the National Assembly, the claimant's side, reportedly requested 15 witnesses. I don't know what it's going to be like today.

Because today is at least the second hearing preparation period, lawyers have to submit related opinions, but according to media reports, they have not yet submitted their opinions, so there is a possibility that it will remain idle today. So the presidential office kept saying that there was not enough time. In a way, the impeachment trial and the investigation are going to hold out a little bit. Since they show such attitudes that they need to drag on time, today's hearing preparation date is also organized by the National Assembly and then by the court, two judges, Jeong Hyeong-sik and Lee Mi-sun, but it is not expected to proceed as normal.

[Anchor]
If the normal process does not continue legally as you said, is it not going to help President Yoon Suk Yeol in the current situation?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
The President of Yoon Suk Yeol has nothing to do but be helpful. Of course, it can be very unpleasant for the Constitutional Court judges to see in the process. Because you can't help but feel like you're intentionally delaying it. However, even if the Constitutional Court uses such a delay strategy, it has no choice but to go quickly through procedures. For example, if the president did not submit an opinion and did not submit the evidence to be applied, the trial will proceed with the evidence submitted by the National Assembly after the hearing preparation date. Then do it on the president's side on the next anniversary. You can just do it quickly like this. However, I don't know if the Constitutional Court will understand for once today, but I think it will be difficult to go like this until when.

[Anchor]
The screen now shows you in front of the main gate of the presidential residence at this time, bodyguards blocking you this morning, and police personnel entering the residence. I'm continuing to tell you the current situation. About 150 people were put into execution of the warrant. There are about 30 personnel from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and 120 police personnel. Of the 150 people, about 80 public servants and police personnel have entered the official residence. About 70 people are waiting. Oh Dong-woon, the head of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, strongly said earlier that if you do not open the iron door and interfere with it, it will be an obstruction of the execution of public affairs.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is announcing a briefing on the arrest of President Yoon today. I'll let you know when I get a breaking news about it. I'm currently talking with lawyer Kim Kwang-sam about the impeachment trial. We also talked about President Yoon's letter to his supporters earlier. A letter that begins with patriotic citizens. I sent a letter to the Constitutional Court, saying, "I'm watching it on YouTube in real time, let's cheer up because the Republic of Korea is in danger following the invasion of sovereignty and anti-state forces." What kind of impact do you think it will have? A letter to President Yoon's supporters, which was submitted as evidence by the National Assembly's representatives to the Constitutional Court. What do you mean by that?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
This itself is to judge the violation of the Constitution and the law as the starting point of the impeachment. That's why it contains the president's thoughts and things like this in the impeachment prosecution against the president. Then, the state should be a wartime incident or a similar emergency, but the president declared a state of emergency with this idea, so this is not a normal area of thinking and it can be an indirect proof that the declaration of an emergency itself is wrong. So it wasn't a crisis of emergency martial law for the nation and the people, promoting some kind of incitement against the forces that supported them. So if you look at this, you can infer many things. Then this message itself could act as a disadvantage in impeachment.

[Anchor]
As you said, if the court judges that the letter delivered to the supporters now is incitement, it could be disadvantageous in the actual trial of President Yoon's impeachment, right?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
That's right.

[Anchor]
In the second hearing preparation period, new political figures and constitutional judges Cho Han-chang, who took office after controversy, will also be deployed. Will there be any changes in the hearing arguments as these two are put in?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
First of all, since today is the hearing preparation period, only two life-long judges will proceed with the hearing preparation period. And two newly appointed constitutional judges can participate in the hearing. So, as two new people were added, it seems that they have entered various types of records, such as reviewing records. The Constitutional Court has been normalized because eight people are involved in the hearing. So, how to speed up the hearing can vary depending on how the Constitutional Court does it. The next thing we should be interested in is that the Democratic Party has impeached a lot so far.

So, of course, the impeachment trial against the president is important for those involved in impeachment. However, I think it will be very helpful to quickly drop off the impeachment request that is not the case in the current parliamentary paralysis or state administration. That's why the content and issues are not that complicated except for the impeachment trial against the president. However, in the history of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Korea, an impeachment case has never been adjourned like this. Then, for minor cases, we accelerated quickly and became eight people. It became a condition for me to make a decision. So it's right that the Constitutional Court's judgment is made quickly, look at it like this.

[Anchor]
The Constitutional Court has issued a position on President Yoon's request for an arrest warrant, a request for a power dispute trial, and a provisional injunction for suspension of effect. I said I would start reviewing the case as soon as I finish the dividend process, what procedures will it follow?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
First of all, the impeachment trial is distributed to the entire court. Therefore, for now, once the life judge organizes the issues individually, and when the defense preparation process is over, the entire court is involved in the trial. Then, the president does not have the authority to make a competent dispute trial. Because the job has been suspended, a competency dispute trial is a request for a trial when there is an objection to the authority between state agencies or between the state and local governments. But the president is not a state agency of the Republic of Korea because his duties are suspended. That's why people like Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer, say they will file a competition trial, but it's not legally right, I think so.

[Anchor]
The eight-member system has reached the stage of being able to issue a sentence, but the Democratic Party is also doing the same. Justice Ma Eun-hyuk should be appointed even. And a constitutional petition is underway for not appointing one person by acting Choi.

[Kim Kwang Sam]
But in principle, it's right to appoint three people. That's true. However, acting authority Choi Sang-mok chose the compromise type. There has been a lot of controversy over whether the ruling party recommends two out of the three or the opposition party. Then, before recommending, if there is such a controversy, if the ruling party recommends one person and the opposition party recommends one person, wouldn't it be normal if eight people were recommended? I said on TV a lot, but in the end, the Democratic Party recommended two people and the ruling party recommended one, so only one acting representative Choi Sang-mok did it. But this is an expedient.

But from a political point of view, it's viewed outside of the legal point of view. Then, if Acting Chief Justice Choi Sang-mok appointed all three constitutional judges, then it went as the Democratic Party wishes. However, if acting president Choi Sang-mok tries to exercise his authority as acting president in the future, there should be support from the members of the State Council or the ruling party. But if you go like that, the acting authority Choi Sang-mok is in a dead end. Then, the current state administration is paralyzed, especially the acting president Choi Sang-mok is a bureaucrat in terms of finances. He's the best bureaucrat in Korea. So what are you going to do with this? So if I personally give my political opinion, I don't think I should drive anymore. Because we appointed two people, the Constitutional Court went back to normal. But if you keep pushing this, the state of affairs could be in chaos.

[Anchor]
He analyzed that the appointment of two constitutional judges by acting authority Choi Sang-mok was an expedient, but a politically wise judgment. I'll give you a foreign press reaction. Major foreign media are also reporting as emergency news about the execution of the arrest warrant for the first sitting president in constitutional history. I'll give you a CNN response. This morning, investigators from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit entered the presidential residence and attempted to arrest him, and they are in confrontation with the security inside, connecting a Seoul correspondent to convey in detail as major news. In addition, more than 2,000 police officers are dispatched to prepare for any contingency, such as clashes with President Yoon's supporters and security agencies.

[Anchor]
And in an article titled "A dramatic situation like a drama is unfolding," the BBC said that military units are blocking the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit following President Yoon's supporters, pointing out that the military is blocking the execution of legal arrest warrants. Reuters and the Associated Press are also interested in details such as the departure of the investigation team of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to execute arrest warrants, the deployment of police around President Yoon's residence, and the situation of rallies around him. In particular, Reuters reported that the issuance and attempt of arrest warrants for a sitting president in South Korea is unprecedented for the first time in the constitutional history. Foreign media are also interested in the execution of the arrest warrant for the first sitting president in constitutional history. That's why some people say they want the president to make a choice that suits his national dignity.

[Kim Kwang Sam]
Looking at it now, I don't think that's likely, but what we can expect is lawyer Kim Hong-il and lawyer Yoon Gap-geun. I think it can be seen in two ways. One thing is how to participate as a lawyer in preparation for the execution of an arrest warrant, you can think of one thing. Another thing is that there is a considerable possibility of blocking the execution of arrest warrants and consulting with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to discuss such things as going out on one's own and voluntarily running.

[Anchor]
In the current situation, you gave me a prospect. If you were to reject the part of the arrest now, what options would be left for President Yoon Suk Yeol?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
If you refuse arrest, you have no choice but to keep going like this.

[Anchor]
Are you just continuing with the strategy of holding out?

[Kim Kwang Sam]
I'm not sure how much time I'll take to get to the strategy of holding out. However, in many ways now, the security service staff are blocking it, but how will they penetrate it with physical force? So if the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit decides to execute the arrest warrant by today, it has no choice but to mobilize its physical force. But as we feared, there would be no bloody conflict or the use of weapons. So, as a result, depending on which side has a lot of people, it can be that way or not. If the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit takes measures very strongly, it can go as far as arresting the head of the security department and the leadership for obstructing the execution of special public affairs. Then that side will have no choice but to collapse. But if you try to arrest him in that way, there may be physical conflicts in the process of preventing it. So the scene is very important. I think we need to see how the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit judges on the spot. If you can't do this by blocking and resistance from there, and if you come out again, there will be a huge aftermath. So the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will also try to execute it under the name of the deceased.

[Anchor]
I will organize the situation one more time so far. At around 6:14 a.m. today, a vehicle from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit left Gwacheon Government Complex. It took about an hour to arrive in front of the official residence in Hannam-dong. Just after 8 o'clock, investigators were confirmed to enter the official residence. It is at this point that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit announced the execution of the arrest warrant. And officially, it was announced that the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon began around 8:03 p.m. It was found that Lee Dae-hwan, the senior prosecutor, executed the arrest warrant. Currently, 150 people are trying to execute arrest warrants at their official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, including 30 from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and 120 from the police special forces.

There was a first cordon built with buses, and after passing through this cordon, it was about 9:50 that we entered the second cordon. So, the personnel of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit actually arrived at the official residence at around 8 o'clock, so it seems that they entered the second cordon about two hours later. Cho Dong-bon, who entered in front of the official residence, presented an arrest warrant to the security chief and asked for cooperation, but he said he did not allow the search because the security chief is a security zone.

[Anchor]
On the screen, we are showing the arrival of Chief Prosecutor Lee Dae-hwan. This is the situation this morning. On the left side of the screen, you can see the front door of the presidential residence at this time. At the scene, it has been confirmed that there was also a physical fight between police airlift personnel and security personnel as they entered the two cordons. The police special team said there was a physical fight in the process of breaking through the cordon of the security service. In particular, they also confronted military personnel, which the police identified as Army radiation personnel. The police confirmed that the Army's radiation forces interfered with the execution of the arrest warrant. At the same time, he said he would consider whether soldiers who interfered with the execution would be booked. However, it is understood that no one has been arrested at the scene yet.

The possibility of conflict with President Yoon's supporters cannot be ruled out. It's a very urgent situation. We are showing you, but Director of Airborne Oh Dong-woon met with reporters on the 1st, so the day before yesterday, and said, "We hope that it will proceed without any disturbance and aim to mobilize police personnel." That's why it seemed like there was a possibility that a lot of actual experience would be put into it. Such a career will do well in the field, but the most important thing for an injured person is not to have a physical collision.

As I showed you on the screen earlier, Yoon's representative, lawyer Yoon Gap-geun, who is in charge of defense, and former head of the Korea Communications Commission Kim Hong-il visited the residence and are believed to be currently in the residence. Kim Hong-il, former chairman of the Korea Communications Standards Commission, appeared in front of his official residence wearing a green hat, which had not been well-known in public. It was an open fact that former chairman Kim Hong-il supported the delegation, but he has never briefed or appeared in public. You can see it on the right side of the screen. You are looking at lawyer Yoon Gap-geun and former head of the Korea Communications Commission Kim Hong-il wearing a green hat. It is a situation where lawyer Seok Dong-hyun or lawyer Yoon Gap-geun are in charge of responding to the media. As former chairman Kim Hong-il came to meet the president, attention is now being paid to what will be said in the official residence.

Yoon's attempt to execute an arrest warrant continues to be delivered in real time. If the arrest is executed, it starts with an arrest warrant and a notice of the Miranda Principles. I'll also explain the reason for the arrest warrant here. After President Yoon's arrest, he is expected to move to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in Gwacheon. I'm being investigated here. The distance from the official residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan, to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is about 17-18km. It seems that they will probably move to a nearby route. If traffic is controlled, it will take about 20 minutes, not 30 minutes. And if the investigation is completed, he will be detained at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang.

Whether President Yoon will be arrested today is a matter related to the investigation of the criminal case. On the one hand, the Constitutional Court is conducting an impeachment trial. The Constitutional Court is scheduled to prepare for the impeachment trial of President Yoon at 2 p.m. today. At this time, lawyer Yoon Gap-geun was scheduled to attend in person, but the plan was changed. Now lawyer Yoon Gap-geun is discussing countermeasures with the president inside his Hannam-dong residence. Today, six representatives of the president will attend the Constitutional Court's preparation for the impeachment trial. Attorneys Choi Geo-hoon, Seo Sung-gun, Do Tae-woo, and Kim Gye-ri will attend. Attention is also focusing on what position will come out.

Earlier, President Yoon's Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit refused to attend three times. On the last 31st of last month, Lee Soon-young, the chief judge of the Western District Court, issued a warrant on the charge of rebellion. Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act have been used as grounds for opposition to the seizure and search by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. Various controversies have also arisen regarding interpretation, with the statement that these do not apply to warrants, that is, exceptions.

As I told you earlier, the execution of the arrest warrant was carried out from 6 a.m. and 6 a.m. today. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has moved since dawn. As an incumbent president, President Yoon will be protected by the security agency, which could lead to a conflict between the government cooperation agency and the security agency. So it seems to be prepared for that situation. So, the Dong-A Ilbo sent an official letter warning the security service. Earlier, he/she also stressed that if he/she locks the iron door of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Officer Oh Dong-woon and does not comply with the execution of the arrest warrant, it will be an obstruction of the execution of public affairs. We continued to show you on the screen in front of the main gate of the presidential residence at this time and near the residence this morning.
