It has been confirmed that the Seoul Detention Center requested the Special Investigation Team to send prosecutors or investigators for the forced summons of former President Yoon Suk-yeol on the morning of the 16th.

The Ministry of Justice stated in a notice sent to reporters on the morning of the same day that "the Seoul Detention Center has sent a letter requesting cooperation to send a special prosecutor or investigator to ensure lawful execution of the summons."

As former President Yoon has continuously refused to comply with the summons process, the Special Investigation Team sent a letter the previous day directing the third forced summons to the Seoul Detention Center. Around 9 a.m. on that day, the Special Investigation Team stated, "We directed the third summons against former President Yoon to the Seoul Detention Center last evening."

However, after another attempt at the forced summons by the Seoul Detention Center failed, they requested personnel from the Special Investigation Team regarding this matter. The previous day, the Special Investigation Team said in a media briefing, "We were notified by the Seoul Detention Center that it would be difficult to carry out the forced summons utilizing physical force."
