A post containing the names and contact information of People Power Party lawmakers was uploaded to an online community where supporters of President Yoon Suk-yeol and his wife gather.


Recently, on fan cafe site A for President Yoon and his wife, a post titled "List and Contact Information of Participants and Non-Participants in the January 6th Residence Protest" was published. In the post, the list of lawmakers was color-coded in red and blue depending on their attendance at the protest. Additionally, the category labeled "List of Traitors in the Impeachment Crisis" included lawmakers such as Ahn Cheol-soo and Kim Sang-wook. This appears to target those who publicly expressed support for the impeachment motion against President Yoon during last month's vote.

The list was also shared across various online communities on the 14th, a day before the execution of the second arrest warrant. It seems to have been created to urge lawmakers to attend the rally. In relation to this, on the 15th, 30 People Power Party lawmakers, including Na Kyung-won, Kim Ki-hyun, and Yoon Sang-hyun, gathered in front of the presidential residence to block the execution of the second arrest warrant against President Yoon.


Cafe members who saw the list responded with comments such as, "We will not give a single vote to non-participants and traitors in the next general election," "I saved all the phone numbers," and "They do nothing but sit like scholars without understanding the situation or doing any work, and later they will claim credit for the free Republic of Korea that the people protected. We must properly replace them later."



Meanwhile, President Yoon filed a detention review petition claiming the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (HOCI) made an "illegal arrest," but it was dismissed by the court on the 16th. In a situation where HOCI's request for a detention warrant is expected, President Yoon attempted to turn the tables by arguing the warrant was illegal due to jurisdictional violations, but the court again ruled there was no issue. As a result, President Yoon will undergo investigation by HOCI while in custody. HOCI plans to request a detention warrant on the 17th to conduct a detention investigation of President Yoon.
