President Yoon Suk-yeol's legal team is expected to present their stance on the prosecution's reapplication for an extension of the arrest warrant for President Yoon during a press briefing on the 25th.

The president's legal team announced that they will hold a press briefing at 4:30 p.m. in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the same day.

Earlier, the Special Investigation Headquarters for Emergency Martial Law of the Prosecution (headed by Park Se-hyun, Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office) announced that around 2 a.m. on the same day, they refiled a request with the Seoul Central District Court to extend the detention period for President Yoon.

The period requested for extension by the prosecution is until the 6th of next month, the same as the previous application.

The court rejected the prosecution's request for an extension the day before, citing the intent of Article 26 of the Public Officials Corruption Investigation Act, which separates investigation and prosecution and applies this separation between the Corruption Investigation Office and the prosecution office. The prosecution stated that they cannot accept this judgment.

President Yoon's legal team issued a statement on the day, claiming, "The prosecution's reapplication for an extension of the arrest warrant period against the president is in direct violation of the wording of the Public Officials Corruption Investigation Act and adds another illegality on top of the previous illegalities."
