According to the agency, Yoon Suk Yeol was scheduled to appear at the management office at ten o'clock in the morning local time. Earlier, a joint investigative team unsuccessfully attempted to deliver subpoenas through the president's office and by mail. The secretariat and security service of Yoon Suk Yeol refused to accept them, citing a lack of appropriate authority.
The head of the anti-corruption investigations office, Oh Dong Woon, stated that the subpoena was rejected "intentionally." He did not rule out the possibility that the investigation might request an arrest warrant for the president or conduct further questioning.
On December 14, the South Korean parliament voted for the second time to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol from his position.
The issue of impeachment was raised in parliament after Yoon Suk Yeol announced a state of martial law "to combat internal supporters of North Korea" on December 3. The decree, which lasted for six hours, prohibited the operation of political parties, protests, strikes, and imposed censorship and military field tribunals with the authority to impose the death penalty. This triggered massive protests both on the streets of Seoul and in parliament. Lawmakers voted to revoke the president's decision during the military's storming of the building. Following this, he was legally compelled to rescind the decree.
On December 7, the president apologized for his actions on live television. Key officials, including Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun, resigned. An investigation into the coup case has been initiated. Yoon Suk Yeol himself, who is accused of treason and abuse of power, has been prohibited from leaving the country.
On December 12, Yoon rejected the accusations of a coup and stated that the declaration of martial law was a "well-considered political decision." He also dismissed calls for his resignation and accused the opposition of abusing impeachment proceedings.
