The ban on Yoon Suk Yeol's president from leaving the country is actually the first in the history of a sitting president.

Former President Park Geun Hye, whose impeachment decision was made due to the manipulation of state affairs, was not banned from leaving the country.

This means that investigative agencies such as the police, prosecutors, and high-ranking government officials' criminal investigation agencies, as well as the Ministry of Justice, which approved the ban on leaving the country, are seriously considering the allegations surrounding President Yoon.

However, the Ministry of Justice did not clarify whether there had been any cases in which the incumbent president was banned from leaving the country.The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit even hinted at the possibility of securing recruits amid the narrowing of the investigation into President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is accused of

'civil war and abuse of authority'.

It is highly expected that the prosecution, police, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which have entered the investigation competitively, will soon launch a large-scale search and seizure of the presidential office and the office of President Yoon.

If records and testimonies at the time of the emergency martial law, and statements from government and military officials are consistently directed at President Yoon, the timing of the recall is expected to be accelerated.
