President Yoon Suk Yeol's first impeachment trial, the preparation date for the defense, ended in about 40 minutes.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Kwon Junsu!

[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court.

How is the hearing preparation period going?

[Reporter]
Yes, it ended about 40 minutes after the first hearing of President Yoon's impeachment trial began.

Both the National Assembly and President Yoon's lawyers attended, and President Yoon did not appear at the trial because he was not obligated to attend today.

Judge Jeong Hyung-sik and Judge Lee Mi-sun conducted it.

The hearing preparation date first began when the respondent, President Yoon, received evidence submitted by the claimant's National Assembly.President Yun

said he received the submission documents only this morning.

It also addressed the application for postponement of the hearing preparation date, and the court explained that President Yoon asked to postpone the date, but he did not accept the application because there was no good reason.

[Anchor]
There was a process to organize the issues of the impeachment trial, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the court also looked at the reasons for the impeachment of the National Assembly one by one.

Yoon's declaration of martial law, his declaration through a martial law commander, and his use of the military and police to block the National Assembly and obstruct its activities.

It also included the seizure and search of the National Election Commission without a warrant, and the National Assembly also took issue with the attempt to arrest key political and judicial figures.

On the other hand, President Yoon's side said they would argue whether the impeachment trial request was legal and would submit a document later.

In addition, it was not intended to delay the trial in the process of service procedures,

The deadline was set quickly even though we had to prepare a lawsuit after a sufficient defense team was formed, and we asked for the next date to be set in consideration of this.

The preparation date for the second hearing has been set at 2 p.m. on January 3, 2025.

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