Yes, it's in the Constitutional Court.

Please summarize the final position of the Constitutional Court in detail.

[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court has announced that it will handle the documents related to the impeachment trial sent to President Yoon Suk Yeol in a "sending and delivery" manner.

To put it simply, even if it was not actually received, it would be considered to have been served in accordance with the Supreme Court precedent that the document takes effect when it arrives.

Since the 16th, the Constitutional Court has sent documents related to impeachment to President Yoon through an employee or express mail, but
None of the
was delivered due to the absence of the recipient or refusal to receive it from the security service.

The Constitutional Court explained that since the mail sent on the 19th arrived at the presidential residence on the 20th, it is believed that the service has been completed even if the documents were not received directly.

Then, until when do we submit the answer to the impeachment trial documents?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon has to submit a response to the documents related to the impeachment trial by the 27th.

This is because it has to be submitted within seven days from the date of receipt of the document, and the Constitutional Court explained that if the response does not come, the court will discuss the situation later.

The Constitutional Court asked the court to submit materials such as proclamations announced at the time of the emergency martial law and minutes of the cabinet meeting before and after the declaration by tomorrow (24th), but President Yoon has not responded.

The Constitutional Court also added that the preparation date for the first hearing, which will review the hearing and discuss the schedule, will be held as scheduled on the 27th.

Likewise, if President Yoon does not attend, the court will review the future proceedings.

President Yoon expressed his position that the impeachment trial process is somewhat tight?

[Reporter]
Yes,
At a press conference today, President
Yoon explained that he does not avoid the impeachment trial, but it is difficult to make a position after 10 days of prosecution.

President Yoon said he prioritizes impeachment proceedings over investigations related to emergency martial law,
He added that it is not taking
hours, but that preparation procedures such as forming a defense team are necessary for a faithful judgment.

When asked by reporters whether they think it is too much to proceed with the preparation date for the defense on the 27th, they answered that it was to that effect, indicating the possibility of not attending the first trial proceedings.

So far, I'm YTN Kwon Junsu at the Constitutional Court.
