Meanwhile, on the 27th, Judge Yoo Chang-hoon, in charge of warrants at the Seoul Central District Court, dismissed the arrest warrant requested by the prosecution after conducting a pre-arrest suspect hearing (warrant examination) for Leader Lee Jae-myung.

Judge Yoo stated, "Considering the necessity of guaranteeing the suspect's right to defense and the degree of concern for evidence tampering, it is difficult to see the reasons and necessity for detention to the extent that the principle of non-detention investigation should be excluded for the suspect."
