Yoon didn't receive the documents related to impeachment today?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is.
The Constitutional Court sent President Yoon an impeachment resolution and a resolution to refer him to the preparatory process on the 16th.
The court said it had tried to deliver the documents by mail three times until today, but they were repeatedly denied and eventually returned.
Constitutional officials also visited the president in person, but to no avail.
Constitutional officials visited the presidential residence at about 2:10 p.m. yesterday and tried to deliver the documents, but failed.
I also tried to communicate it to the security staff, but it was refused receipt.
The same was true at 9:30 a.m. today, the fourth day.
If the document is not delivered like this, there is a concern that the preparation date scheduled for the 27th will not proceed properly.
The Constitutional Court is also considering how to respond if President Yoon continues to refuse to serve.

Yoon is not being served with documents such as impeachment resolutions sent on the 16th, it is highly likely to discuss this as well.
In particular, the Constitutional Court is considering the possibility of treating it as "consideration of delivery" if the refusal to receive it continues.
It is discussed how documents are considered to have been delivered by placing them at the place of delivery, or how they are considered to have been delivered a week after electronic delivery.
If the Constitutional Court treats it as a service, the service takes effect.
President Yoon must submit an answer within 7 days and submit the minutes of the Cabinet meeting and the proof plan by the 24th.
First of all, the Constitutional Court is expected to reveal the discussion at its regular press briefing next Monday, as it examines various possibilities.
