On December 10th, South Korea's National Assembly passed a resolution calling for the rapid arrest of President Yin Xiyue, and at the same time voted to pass the "Permanent Special Inspection Law on Civil Disturbance" calling for the investigation of President Yin Xiyue. Recently, the sudden "martial law farce" in South Korea has intensified. Will Yin Xiyue become the first current president of South Korea to be arrested? Zhan Debin, director of the Korean Peninsula Research Center of Shanghai University of International Business and Economics, said that at present, whether Yin Xiyue will be arrested is still not "certain". He explained, "The resolution of the National Assembly is not a bill, but actually a pressure on relevant investigation institutions, and it is also an' endorsement' for relevant institutions to step up their investigation of Yin Xiyue's problem." Another expert on South Korea pointed out to reporters that under this circumstance, whether Yin Xiyue was arrested will still be affected by the game between the opposition party and the ruling party in South Korea, and it will take some time to make a final decision. "During this period, the opposition Common Democratic Party will continue to promote its impeachment and realize Yin Xiyue's stepping down as soon as possible. The sooner the election, the better for the Common Democratic Party. The National Power Party will continue to delay, hoping to realize the general election in May and June next year, so that it can make more adequate preparations. The reason why the "law on permanent special inspection of civil strife" was passed was actually the result of compromise between the two parties. The former demanded immediate stepping down, while the latter demanded stepping down in March and April next year as planned. The former hopes to find more evidence through special inspections to continue impeachment, while the latter hopes that special inspections will delay time. " In addition, some experts in South Korea pointed out that if Yin Xiyue refuses to obey the law enforcement department, any attempt at compulsory measures may be limited in practice. "The responsibility of the Presidential Security Bureau is to protect national leaders around the clock."
