have shulded him from arrest since he was impeached by
9
00:00:32,000 –> 00:00:35,200
the country’s parliament over short looked martional law. He declared

in December twenty twenty four, they impached South Korean President
11
00:00:40,960 –> 00:00:44,600
Jun Sookiol in a pre recorded video message, said he
12
00:00:44,719 –> 00:00:49,159
decided to surrender to the CIO to avoid bloodshall, insisting
13
00:00:49,640 –> 00:00:53,039
the arrest warrant was illegal and executed by force even
14
00:00:53,079 –> 00:00:57,719
when CIO lacked the authority to investigate the case. CIO
15
00:00:57,880 –> 00:01:01,039
said Saint June was detained in their first facility. The
16
00:01:01,119 –> 00:01:04,920
impeached president has refused to alter a word or respond
17
00:01:04,920 –> 00:01:09,239
to their questions. I decided to respond to the CIO’s
18
00:01:09,319 –> 00:01:14,400
investigation despite it being an illegal investigation to prevent on
19
00:01:14,519 –> 00:01:19,200
severy bloodshed, June said in the pre recorded statement. After

26
00:01:42,959 –> 00:01:45,760

for up to twenty days or release him. According to
28
00:01:49,159 –> 00:01:54,120
news reporters monitoring the situation in Seoul, Yun whole phases
29
00:01:54,239 –> 00:01:57,719
charges of insurrection over his short lived effort to impose
30
00:01:57,840 –> 00:02:01,319

it will block the attempt, claiming a first and trade
71
00:05:00,319 –> 00:05:04,600

72
00:05:04,639 –> 00:05:09,439

the standoff. Supporters of South Korean President yusukill have gathered
76
00:05:22,800 –> 00:05:26,439
outside his official residents to once again prevent him from
77
00:05:26,439 –> 00:05:31,360
being arrested. The Julhap news agency said at least six thousand,
78
00:05:31,480 –> 00:05:35,839
five hundred supporters have assembled, and some ruling partisan makers
79
00:05:35,839 –> 00:05:40,759
were forming a human chain. Participants are chanting arrest Lee

82
00:05:48,639 –> 00:05:52,240

time with a windchill of minus nine degree cell seals
85
00:06:01,519 –> 00:06:05,160

86
00:06:05,199 –> 00:06:08,839
may attempt to possibly arrest the president in a few hours.
87
00:06:09,560 –> 00:06:14,680
Two CIO vehicles have arrived in front of the presidential residence,
88
00:06:15,079 –> 00:06:19,800
Yonhap News TV reported earlier, referring to the Corruption Investigation
89
00:06:20,000 –> 00:06:26,160
Office investigating Yu. On Tuesday, South Korea’s constitutional courts adjoint
90
00:06:26,160 –> 00:06:29,759
the opening session of the impeachment trial of suspended President
91
00:06:29,920 –> 00:06:34,240
Yunsukio within minutes after the ambattled leader did not attend court.
92
00:06:34,959 –> 00:06:38,560
A lawyer advising Jun has sent the president, who has
93
00:06:38,600 –> 00:06:41,839
been honed up in his hillside villa in Soul for weeks,
94
00:06:42,199 –> 00:06:45,759
would not attend, saying a bid by authorities to detend
95
00:06:45,839 –> 00:06:49,360
him prevented Yun from expressing his position at the trial.
96
00:06:50,160 –> 00:06:53,360
The next trial session is scheduled for Thursday, and if
97
00:06:53,439 –> 00:06:57,000
Yun also does not attend, the trial, procedents will go
98
00:06:57,120 –> 00:07:01,079
ahead with his legal team representing him, the Chief Justice,
99
00:07:01,160 –> 00:07:05,920
mun Ayoumbe said outside the court. One of Yun’s lawyers,
100
00:07:06,319 –> 00:07:10,120
Yunika Keun, said the president would decide whether to go
101
00:07:10,279 –> 00:07:13,519
to court in passing on Thursday after discussions on his
102
00:07:13,680 –> 00:07:18,800
defense strategy. The Constitutional Court must decide within one hundred
103
00:07:18,879 –> 00:07:21,639
and eighty days whether to remove you from office or
104
00:07:21,680 –> 00:07:26,879
restore his presidential powers. Yun also faces a criminal investigation
105
00:07:27,079 –> 00:07:31,519
for alleged insurrection, with authorities seeking to execute and arrest
106
00:07:31,560 –> 00:07:34,759
warrant after he ignored some months to appear for questioning.
107
00:07:35,519 –> 00:07:39,800
A legitimate warrant must exist and it must be legally
108
00:07:39,839 –> 00:07:44,600
presented and executed, which does not mean Johnping Francis or
109
00:07:44,720 –> 00:07:48,959
damaging property without presenting a warrant, his lawyer Jun said,
110
00:07:49,399 –> 00:07:54,240
repeating that the current arrest warrant was invalid. Yun’s declaration
111
00:07:54,399 –> 00:07:57,800
of martial law on Decelvert twenty twenty four, that was
112
00:07:57,839 –> 00:08:01,240
withdrawn after about six hours has launched one of Agent’s
113
00:08:01,240 –> 00:08:06,000
most vibrant democracies into a period of unprecedented political turbulence.
114
00:08:06,759 –> 00:08:10,639
The Defense Ministry said Tisdam that military forces in charge
115
00:08:10,639 –> 00:08:14,360
of presidential security would not be mobilized in relation to
116
00:08:14,439 –> 00:08:19,279
Yun’s warrant execution. Roters showed a video footage of hundreds
117
00:08:19,319 –> 00:08:21,959
of police officers marched off the road leading to his
118
00:08:22,079 –> 00:08:25,279
hillside villa, where he has been hold off for weeks,
119
00:08:25,279 –> 00:08:29,680
guarded by a small army of personal security. A previous
120
00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:33,519
arrest attempt on January turl twenty twenty five, felt after
121
00:08:33,600 –> 00:08:39,080
a six out standoff between investigators and Mun’s presidential security
122
00:08:39,120 –> 00:08:44,720
agents and military guards. South Korean impeached President yunskilled in
123
00:08:44,799 –> 00:08:48,919
the recorded speech released minutes before his arrest, said they
124
00:08:48,960 –> 00:08:52,639
are citizens. How have you been? I would like to
125
00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:55,440
thank you so much for chairing me on and giving
126
00:08:55,480 –> 00:09:00,759
me so much support. Unfortunately, the law has complete collapsed
127
00:09:00,799 –> 00:09:04,360
in this country. It is truly regrettable to see warrants
128
00:09:04,399 –> 00:09:08,960
being issued to agencies without investigative authority and courts without
129
00:09:09,039 –> 00:09:12,399
warrant review authority, issued arrest warrants and search and situal
130
00:09:12,440 –> 00:09:16,600
warrants and investigative agencies issue in force official documents to
131
00:09:16,600 –> 00:09:20,519
deceive the public committing such illegal acts and forcibly proceeded
132
00:09:20,519 –> 00:09:25,159
with procedures using involid warrants. Even though I am disadvantaged
133
00:09:25,320 –> 00:09:28,200
like this, I really hope that this kind of thing
134
00:09:28,279 –> 00:09:31,000
will not happen to our citizens in the future when
135
00:09:31,039 –> 00:09:35,879
they experience criminal cases like this. Today, I saw them
136
00:09:35,919 –> 00:09:40,679
infiltrating the security zone using firefighting equipment, and in order
137
00:09:40,720 –> 00:09:44,960
to prevent an unpleasant bloodshed, I decided to appear before
138
00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:51,000
the Public Prosecutor’s office, even though it is an illegal investigation. However,
139
00:09:51,480 –> 00:09:54,639
I do not approve of the investigation by this public
140
00:09:54,720 –> 00:09:59,919
Prosecutor’s office. As the President who must protect the constitution
141
00:10:00,200 –> 00:10:04,080
and legal system of the Republic of Korea, responding to
142
00:10:04,159 –> 00:10:08,159
such illegal and evoluve proceedures does not mean acknowledging them,
143
00:10:08,519 –> 00:10:13,279
but rather is merely trying to prevent unpleasant bloodshed. Seeing
144
00:10:13,320 –> 00:10:17,919
the people, especially our youth truly re recognizing the value
145
00:10:17,960 –> 00:10:21,440
of liberal democracy and showing passion for it. I have
146
00:10:21,559 –> 00:10:24,480
come to believe that although these are dark times when
147
00:10:24,519 –> 00:10:28,240
the law is collapsing, the future of this country is hopeful.
148
00:10:29,039 –> 00:10:32,639
They are citizens. I hope you stay healthy and strong.
149
00:10:33,120 –> 00:10:37,399
Thank you. A few days ago, we had earlier reported
150
00:10:37,480 –> 00:10:41,000
that there are indications that the criminal investigators in South
151
00:10:41,080 –> 00:10:44,159
Korea have mobilized over two thousand police to wear down
152
00:10:44,279 –> 00:10:48,039
or overcome the men of the Presidential Security Service PS
153
00:10:48,200 –> 00:10:52,480
is currently protecting the country’s impeached president yunsukill from being
154
00:10:52,600 –> 00:10:55,799
arrested after courty issued order of arrest on Tildam when
155
00:10:55,840 –> 00:10:58,720
the previous court order expired, with felt attempt by the
156
00:10:58,759 –> 00:11:02,039
criminal investigators to carry out the arrest other last week
157
00:11:02,120 –> 00:11:06,559
due to stand up mounted by heavily MPSS, local media
158
00:11:06,679 –> 00:11:11,000
on Wednesday reported that the South Korea’s Presidential Security Service,
159
00:11:11,480 –> 00:11:15,240
an agency assigned to protect the president prides itself on
160
00:11:15,399 –> 00:11:18,840
being the last bastion for a safe and stubul state administration,
161
00:11:19,000 –> 00:11:21,679
is now at the heart of South Korea’s biggest political
162
00:11:21,759 –> 00:11:24,840
mess in decades. Acted as a final line of defense
163
00:11:24,879 –> 00:11:29,480
