The aftermath continues over the withdrawal of the National Assembly's impeachment investigation team centered on the opposition party from the reason for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The opposition party emphasized that there was no problem when former President Park Geun Hye was impeached, and the ruling party criticized the Constitutional Court for trying to speed up the trial too much.

The Democratic Party played an interview video of Kwon Sung-dong, the floor leader of the People's Power, who served as a member of the National Assembly's impeachment committee during the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye at the Supreme Council.

As Kwon rearranged the reason by focusing only on unconstitutionality during the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial at the time, the withdrawal of the rebellion is not a problem.

[Kwon Seong-dong / Then, National Assembly Impeachment Committee member (last 2017): We plan to organize it in such a way that it violates the grand principles of the constitution based on the facts (crime). (Isn't it against the regulations?) There is no problem.]

Representative Lee Jae-myung first launched a counterattack on the controversy over the withdrawal of the rebellion, saying he hopes Kwon will regain the same wisdom as in the past.

[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: You don't have to use the 'sin' for assault and arson. I just assaulted him. It's on fire. I can't live with you. Let me divorce you. It's organized like this.]

On the other hand, if there was something wrong with the impeachment trial in the past, but it was right to fix it this time, he said, counterattacking Lee's representative "judicial risk."

[Ahn Cheol Soo / People's Power (YTN Radio 'News Fighting') : If there was a wrong practice (in the impeachment trial) in the past, it would be wrong to follow it, and to make the impeachment trial (conclusion) come out before the ruling of Representative Lee Jae-myung....]

It is lame for the Democratic Party to exclude the crime of rebellion on the grounds that it is unfavorable to its political schedule, he said, adding that the Democratic Party is sympathetic to the civil war.

[Kim Jae-seop / People's Power (CBS Radio 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show'): I think it's an act of insulting the people's wishes or my impeachment vote in this way.]

Some pointed out that there is no case in the world that the Constitutional Court meets the trial schedule for the term of the judge, saying that if the Constitutional Court conducts an unreasonable hearing considering two constitutional judges who are set to retire in April, they will be criticized for being "full of self-interest."

As the controversy over the withdrawal of the rebellion crime has not subsided, political strife seems inevitable for the time being over the impeachment trial, along with the execution of President Yoon's arrest warrant.
