As President Yoon Seok-yeol refuses to comply with the arrest warrant and remains holed up at the Seoul Hannam-dong residence, Lee Jun-seok, a member of the Reform New Party, proposed broadcasting a loudspeaker message near the residence urging "Yoon Seok-yeol to surrender."


On the 13th, Lee appeared on SBS Radio's 'Kim Taehyun's Political Show' and said, "I suggest trying a broadcast similar to the loudspeakers used for North Korea near Hannam-dong. Through this psychological warfare, we should make him surrender." He added, "There are many civilians living nearby anyway, and it's not like it's a restricted area. The neighbors are people like Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and others," and said, "Won't they be somewhat understanding?"


Lee's proposal aims not only to pressure President Yoon but also to unsettle the security personnel. He argued, "The ordinary security officers at the Security Office might be having difficulty understanding the situation. If the security officers give up, the president will have no choice." He continued, "I hope there will be no clashes with law enforcement as much as possible. No matter how much the Democratic Party pushes, preventing bloodshed is more important than speed."

Regarding President Yoon's message on Facebook about the wildfires in Los Angeles, Lee said, "He is psychologically maintaining a great deal of composure," adding, "He intends to prove that he will return soon and is properly monitoring various issues." He expressed concern, saying, "I cannot shake the feeling that this situation is heading in a strange direction," and warned, "If (President Yoon) falls into the delusion that his impeachment will be dismissed, he might start by ordering his supporters to fight fiercely and demand stronger physical resistance, which could lead to strange commands."


Earlier that morning, President Yoon posted on Facebook, "The damage from the large wildfire in LA is becoming uncontrollable," and wrote, "Strong gusts are making firefighting difficult, and the damage continues to spread, which is very regrettable." He continued, "I offer my condolences and sympathy to those affected by the unfortunate disaster and extend my heartfelt sympathy to the American people," and added, "I sincerely hope the wildfire is extinguished quickly and the damage is restored."
