When President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an emergency martial law, Seocho-dong also moved with urgency throughout.

Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae said a little while ago that the judiciary will do its best to prevent people from worrying.

However, he declined to comment on legal responsibility.

Let's connect with the reporter and listen closely. Reporter Kim Chulhee!

Please tell us more about the judiciary's position.

[Reporter]
Yes, Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae told reporters on his way to work a little while ago that the judiciary will do its best to prevent the public from worrying.

In difficult times, the judiciary will focus on its original mission to guarantee the freedom and human rights of the people through trials.

Let's listen to it.

[Cho Hee-dae / Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: Since the original role of the judiciary is to guarantee the freedom and human rights of the people through trial, we will do our best to ensure that there is no negligence.]

However, when asked if he could be held legally responsible for the martial law process, he declined to say, saying, "We will have to wait and see what procedures we have gone through."

He only said he would tell you again later about the president's impeachment drive.

Earlier, when the president declared martial law, the Supreme Court held a three-hour meeting under the order of Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae.

Did the Justice Department and the prosecution respond as well?

[Reporter]
Yes, first, the Ministry of Justice held an emergency executive meeting presided over by the minister around midnight after declaring martial law.

At that time, discussions were reportedly made to respond to the constitution and laws so that there would be no interruption of work.

There was also internal opposition to this.

Ryu Hyuk, the inspector of the Ministry of Justice, submitted his resignation, saying he could not participate in discussions on martial law.In a call with YTN, Inspector General

explained that he did not think it was appropriate as a public official to stand by in an act of clear and obvious constitutional destruction.

There can be no gambling with the fate of the country, and the declaration of martial law must be legally wronged.

Immediately after the declaration of martial law, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office also held a meeting with the command above the level of the prosecutor general.

Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung came to work this morning without making a particular statement:
Unlike the
judiciary, it is said that it is not planning to announce an official position on the declaration and lifting of martial law as it is a member of the administration.

So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee of YTN in the Supreme Court.
