President Yoon Suk Yeol has not responded to the investigative agency's request for attendance and has refused to execute arrest warrants.
It is the opposite of the emphasis on strict law enforcement during the presidential election, and attention is being paid to whether it will affect the impeachment trial.

President Yoon Suk Yeol, a former prosecutor general, has emphasized strict law enforcement since he ran for president.
[Yoon Suk Yeol / Press conference to announce presidential bid in June 2021] I have no doubt that there should be no exceptions to the investigation, trial and application of the law, regardless of whether it is my relatives or those in any position and position.]
However, after the arrest of the suspect, the police and the Joint Investigation Headquarters of the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Agency refused to serve the request for attendance three times,
He refused to comply with the prosecution's two summons notifications.
It did not even acknowledge court-issued arrest warrants.
He filed an appeal with the Seoul Western District Court, which issued a warrant for a dispute trial and an injunction for suspension of validity to the Constitutional Court.
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon Suk Yeol Presidential Counsel (Dec. 31 last year): (The arrest warrant) has been filed in the Western District Court as if it were some kind of 'warrant shopping'. When I look at the procedure, it must be an illegal invalid warrant.]
Although he said he would play fair in the impeachment proceedings,
refused to serve impeachment trial documents and warned that it would fight for legality.
On the other hand, they started to attract public opinion by sending direct messages to supporters gathered in front of the presidential residence.
In the meantime, it is pointed out that President Yoon's move will affect the impeachment trial of the Constitutional Court, as he refuses to comply with the execution of arrest warrants and is not willing to protect the Constitution.
