Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon urged, "An arrest warrant has been issued for the ringleader of the insurrection," and called on "investigative authorities to promptly arrest the leader of the insurrection."


On the 31st, Governor Kim Dong-yeon emphasized in a post on his social media (SNS), "With the issuance of the arrest warrant for the ringleader of the insurrection (President Yoon Seok-yeol), we have just taken the first step toward ending the insurrection."


He continued, "At the very least, the ringleader of the insurrection must not be allowed to see 2025 in Yongsan," and asserted, "The place where the ringleader of the insurrection belongs is not the presidential residence but prison."

In particular, he pointed out, "Investigative authorities must promptly arrest the leader of the insurrection," and added, "Acting Chief Choi Sang-mok must instruct the Presidential Security Service to cooperate with the legitimate enforcement of the law. The rule of law and democracy must never be further damaged."


Furthermore, he stated, "If the Security Service resists, they must be severely punished for obstructing special official duties," and added, "The people have been deprived of peaceful daily life for nearly a month, and the economy is collapsing from the ground up. Completely ending the ongoing insurrection is the only way to restore daily life and eliminate economic uncertainty."



Meanwhile, the court issued the warrant a day after the joint investigation headquarters, involving the police and the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), requested an arrest warrant for President Yoon Seok-yeol.
