As the National Assembly passed the impeachment motion of the acting president, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, the acting president was transferred to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance Choi Sang-mok.

Prime Minister Han Deok-soo announced his position after the impeachment, saying he would respect the National Assembly's decision and wait for the Constitutional Court's wise decision.

For more information, I'll connect you to a reporter from the Prime Minister's Office. Reporter Park Heejae!

Prime Minister Han Deok-soo came forward right after the impeachment was passed?

[Journalist]
Yes, that's right.

After the impeachment motion was passed at the plenary session of the National Assembly, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo announced his position to the press corps.

I once again emphasized the existing position and purpose of the announcement yesterday regarding the suspension of the appointment of constitutional judges.

No constitutional judge in our constitutional history has yet been appointed without an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties,

The authority and responsibility are so heavy.

In order to appoint a constitutional judge in an unprecedented way, the ruling party and the opposition party representing the people must agree,
He stressed that the process of filling is as important as the result of the
filling.

He also criticized the opposition party, saying it is the 29th impeachment bill issued under this administration.

In order to respect the National Assembly's decision and not add further confusion and uncertainty, we await the Constitutional Court's prompt and wise decision,
The members of the
State Council concluded their position by asking them to fulfill their remaining duties.

How is the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's office now?

[Reporter]
As a result of inquiring about multiple officials from the Prime Minister's Office, the atmosphere here is simply 'devastating'.

Of course, there was an atmosphere that was predicted as the opposition party has been conditionally pushing for impeachment, but

It seems inevitable that business disruptions will occur.

Prime Minister Han Deok-soo has been working at the Government Complex in Seoul this morning.

It is expected to be retired soon, but it is expected to head to the Prime Minister's Office in Samcheong-dong, Seoul.

This is because it is only a suspension of duty, and the job itself is maintained until the Constitutional Court concludes the impeachment trial.

What's going to happen from now on?

[Reporter]
Under Article 22 of the Government Organization Act, the acting president will now move on to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Choi Sang-mok.

In other words, it is an unprecedented situation in which the acting president and the acting prime minister are also in charge at the same time.

Minister Choi Sang-mok is also expected to accept the appointment of three constitutional court candidates passed by the National Assembly and the law on the independent counsel for the first lady Kim Gun-hee and the civil war, which is due on January 1 next year.

The Cabinet Office and the President's Office are expected to report to Minister Choi.

However, even this is unstable, as the opposition party has predicted further impeachment if major demands, including the appointment of constitutional judges, are not accepted.
