The Constitutional Court, which has an eight-member system, will prepare for the second hearing of the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol this afternoon (3rd).

We are planning to begin a full-fledged case hearing, such as arranging the issues of the impeachment prosecution.

There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Kwon Junsu!

The National Assembly and President Yoon will be present again today, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

The second hearing preparation period will be held from 2 p.m. today.

The National Assembly will be attended by former Constitutional Judge Kim Yi-soo, co-representative of the delegation, led by Chung Chung-rae, chairman of the National Assembly's Legislative and Judiciary Committee.Yoon Gap-geun, a former Daegu High Prosecutor, and Bae Bo-yoon, a lawyer with experience as a public information officer at the Constitutional Court, are expected to be on the side of President

Yoon.

Both sides attended the first preparation period a week ago.

At that time, the court may feel that the deadline is tight, setting the second preparation date, but
It explained that the
impeachment trial has set a date immediately in consideration of the significance of its impact on the country's operations and its people.

The two newly appointed constitutional judges are also looking into the case, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Constitutional Court Justices Cho Han-chang and Jeong Gye-seon, who took office on the 1st, were also put into the hearing of President Yoon's case.

In the future, it seems that the focus will be on the issues of the impeachment trial and the arrangement of evidence.

Although one of the nine seats is still empty, the Constitutional Court seems to have established psychological reliability and legitimacy as it has an eight-member system instead of six.

The Constitutional Court reportedly requested the Central Election Commission to submit CCTV footage and other data on the day of the emergency martial law.

We are also checking basic facts by requesting investigation data from the prosecution and the police.

Today, the court heard President Yoon's objection to the reasons for impeachment submitted by the National Assembly,

It is expected to start a full-fledged hearing by setting an additional preparation date for the third round of preparation or designating a pleading date.

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