[Park Beom-gye/ Rep. of the Democratic Party (Yesterday): Is the Yoon Suk Yeol in the official residence?]

[Dongwoon Oh / Senior Civil Servants Crime Investigation Director (Yesterday): We have not received any accurate reports on that.]

[Park Beom-gye / Rep. of the Democratic Party (Yesterday): You think there's a possibility that he ran away, right? Among the many possibilities?]

[Oh Dong-woon / Director of High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation (Yesterday): Yes, that's right.]Rep. Ahn Kyu-baek of the Democratic Party of Korea, chairman of the special committee on the

's alleged rebellion', added fuel to the suspicion, saying he had already received a tip from a military official that President Yoon had come out of his Hannam-dong residence.

In response, President Yoon and the ruling party immediately countered that it was malicious fake news.

Yoon's lawyer said he met with President Yoon at his official residence on the evening of the 7th, and President Yoon also asked him to resolve the suspicions so that there is no controversy.

[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon Suk Yeol Presidential Counsel: I definitely went to his residence last night and saw the president at his residence. It's a shame.

Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People's Power who visited the official residence, dismissed the suspicion, saying he had not met President Yoon in person, but confirmed that he was in the official residence.

[Yoon Sang-hyun / People's Power: I came out because of an appointment, but he's there. I checked it.]

An official from the presidential office also explained, "I heard that it is currently in the official residence."The fact that President

Yoon has not appeared at his official residence since the 14th of last month has become the root of the rumor of escape, and the exact location of President Yoon is expected to be confirmed as soon as the arrest warrant is re-executed.
