As the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office prepared to re-execute the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol, the president raised the level of opposition, even mentioning the possibility of a civil war.At a foreign press conference today (9th), the lawyers of President Yoon

argued that it is not normal law enforcement for investigative agencies to attempt a 'show-off arrest' by mentioning the deployment of helicopters or armored vehicles.

He said there are concerns between the president and his lawyers that if he attempts to arrest him by force, he will be expected to face a strong backlash from the public, and that if he does it wrong, it could lead to a "civil war."

In addition, the president repeated his claim that he was trying to inform the public of national crisis situations such as 'legislative dictatorship' and 'impeachment runaway' through martial law.

If this crisis is overcome later, martial law should be considered a success, but he added that the current president is worried that he will not achieve his goal.

When asked if he would follow the impeachment if the Constitutional Court cited him and the decision to dismiss him was made, he answered, "I have to accept it."
