The Seoul Western District Court has issued an arrest and search warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol. This marks the first time in constitutional history that an arrest warrant has been issued for a sitting president, following President Yoon's repeated refusal to respond to the Corruption Investigation Office's investigation attendance requests. The Corruption Investigation Office plans to proceed with the arrest of President Yoon, and a search warrant for the presidential residence has also been issued. However, there is a possibility that the Presidential Security Service may obstruct the arrest, raising the potential for conflict between investigation authorities and the security service during warrant execution. President Yoon's side has stated its intention to refuse cooperation with the investigation, asserting that the Corruption Investigation Office lacks investigative authority over sedition charges.
