It's D-Day for one of the most famous faces in Korean politics.<br />Ex-president Lee Myung-bak is to appear before prosecutors for questioning as a suspect over a slew of corruption allegations.<br />He is scheduled to show up at 9:30 Korea time,... and to get a check on the atmosphere on the day of his summoning,... we have our reporters on standby.<br />And we go to our Lee Jeong-yeon who joins us live from outside Lee's home in southern Seoul.<br />Jeong-yeon, how are things looking over there?<br /><br /> Hi Semin, we still have around two hours to wait until former President Lee Myung-bak emerges from his home.<br />He will take a police-escorted motorcade to the the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office... where he will be questioned.<br />The security presence has been getting heavier here overnight and into the morning, and some people have been gathering outside his residence since early Tuesday.<br /><br /> <br /> Prosecutors have requested his presence by 9:30AM, which means he'll have to leave his residence at around 9AM for the short drive to the Prosecutors' Office.<br />Although this scene might be a familiar to those who followed former President Park Geun-hye's questioning, it's actually a lot quieter at this former president's residence.<br />Unlike the herd of die-hard supporters that were camped outside Park's residence last year, on Tuesday there was only one supporter that showed up for Lee.<br />On Tuesday, the former president and his lawyers were reported to be in their final stages of preparing for Lee's questioning by prosecutors.<br />The lights have been on since before 5:30 this morning. We can only speculate the former president is in his final stage of preparation ahead of what is likely to be a very long interrogation session.<br />Back to you, Se-min.<br />
