President Yoon Suk-yeol was arrested on the morning of the 15th on charges of abuse of power and leading a rebellion, 43 days after the December 3 martial law incident. He is expected to be transferred to Seoul Detention Center after the investigation.

On the same day, President Yoon is being questioned at the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (PCC) investigation room in Building 5 of the Gwacheon Government Complex in Gyeonggi Province. Based on the time of arrest, he will be investigated for up to 48 hours. However, if the investigation is prolonged, he may be taken directly to court for a pre-trial detention hearing (warrant review) without being transferred to Seoul Detention Center.

The PCC plans to detain President Yoon at Seoul Detention Center if the investigation extends. The PCC building and Seoul Detention Center are about a 15-minute drive apart. President Yoon will be held in a single cell equivalent to a detainee's room within the detention center. Following correctional facility admission procedures, he will undergo identity verification, a simple physical examination (a visual check while wearing underwear), and will be required to wear simplified clothing.

According to the weekly meal menu of Seoul Detention Center under the Ministry of Justice's Correction Headquarters in January, the dinner menu on that day includes soybean sprout soup, bulgogi, chili peppers, ssamjang, and napa cabbage kimchi. The beef is Australian, and the kimchi is domestically produced. The next morning's breakfast consists of cereal, boiled eggs, and milk.

At the time of executing President Yoon's arrest warrant, Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun of the People Power Party, who was with him at the Hannam-dong residence in Seoul, said, "President Yoon must be hungry," and added, "He ate a few pieces of toast before leaving." After the morning investigation, the PCC provided President Yoon with a lunchbox for his meal.
