The South Korean police announced on the 13th that they would not pursue charges against lawmakers of the Democratic Party and the Justice Party, who were reported for viewing CCTV footage of former President Yoon Seok-yeol resisting arrest during the execution of a warrant. The police determined that the review of the footage was conducted legally after the 의원 (lawmakers), who were members of the National Assembly's Legislative and Judiciary Committee, visited the Seoul Detention Center on September 1 of last year. They sought to verify allegations of preferential treatment given to Yoon while he was in custody.

The footage reportedly captured Yoon, visibly resisting in a state of undress, as he expressed strong opposition to the arrest. This incident drew significant attention, subsequently inciting criticism from Yoon's defense team. They argued that the lawmakers' actions constituted a violation of legal protocols, emphasizing that such confidential footage should not have been accessible outside of judicial authorities. The situation highlighted the ongoing political tensions surrounding Yoon's administration and the scrutiny of his conduct while in detention.

The police concluded that the lawmakers’ access to the CCTV was legitimate, having followed proper legislative procedures. They stated that the request to view the footage was made through a formal vote by the committee, and the Seoul Detention Center had complied with existing laws concerning access. Further, the police asserted that the legality of the viewing was independent of Yoon's consent, thus validating the lawmakers' actions amid persistent debates regarding transparency and accountability in South Korean governance.
