Japanese media reported that South Korea's political turmoil has intensified since the failure to execute an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.
In an editorial titled "Ununderstandable Korean Politics and Justice," the conservative Yomiuri Shimbun of Japan said today (4th) that South Korea's Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit launched the first-ever arrest warrant for a sitting president, but withdrew after a five-hour confrontation.
Although the court issued an arrest warrant, President Yoon's side insisted that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the right to investigate rebellion, noting that it is difficult to understand the complex Korean judicial system.
He also pointed out that after President Yoon tried to impose emergency martial law on the 3rd of last month, impeachment and the Constitutional Court trial continued, and the Jeju Air disaster overlapped, making it difficult to even gauge the adverse effects of internal affairs and diplomacy.
Japanese media, which have been deploying follow-up situations on the front page every day after the December 3 emergency martial law incident, are also covering the execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in detail.
