The special investigation team led by Jo Eun-seok rejected a request from former President Yoon Suk-yeol to postpone the time for the second round of investigations scheduled for the 5th from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.
The former president's side on that day requested the special investigation team to adjust the attendance time from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the condition that he would attend on the 5th. This essentially indicated his willingness to comply with the face-to-face investigation on the 5th.
However, the special investigation team for insurrection announced through the media on the 1st that it decided not to accept the request to adjust former President Yoon's attendance time, stating, "Considering the general public's work start time, the results of previous investigations, and the large volume of investigations, we have notified him again to attend at 9 a.m. on the 5th."
Former President Yoon was informed by the special investigation team to appear by 9 a.m. on that day but did not show up due to issues related to the preparation for the criminal trial and health. As a result, the special investigation team considered him to have failed to comply with a single investigation and reassigned the attendance date to 9 a.m. on the 5th.
The insurrection special investigation team has plans to consider measures such as an arrest warrant if former President Yoon does not appear on the 5th. Park Ji-young, assistant to the insurrection special investigation team, noted, "If he does not comply on the 5th, then since all conditions will be met, I think the court may issue a warrant."
