On the same day, Woo Jong-su, head of the Special Investigation Unit, stated at a press briefing on the emergency martial law investigation, "The emergency travel ban on former Minister Lee was completed yesterday at around 5:20 PM."


Currently, those subject to the travel ban are former Minister Lee, former Minister Kim, former Commander of the Defense Security Command Yeo In-hyung, and former Army Chief of Staff and martial law commander Park An-su.



The emergency travel ban is a restrictive measure imposed when there is a need for urgency beyond a regular travel ban, structured similarly to an emergency arrest in terms of requirements.
