The first meeting of the eight-member Constitutional Court judges...Preparation for the date of pleading, etc.

[Anchor]
The Constitutional Court held its first full-judge meeting this morning since the formation of the "eight-member system."

It seems that they have prepared a hearing scheduled for the 14th after arranging the issues related to the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

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

[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court.

There was a judge's meeting a little while ago, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the first judge meeting held after the eight-member constitution was established began at 10 a.m. and lasted for about an hour.

It seems that the entire court has shared the issues so far, including evidence submitted and witnesses for the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

I expect they also discussed their opinions to prepare for the hearing date starting next week.

In addition to Prime Minister Han Deok-soo's impeachment trial,

A power dispute trial over the quorum of the National Assembly's decision on the impeachment of acting president,
There are many issues to deal with, such as
and the constitutional petition regarding the right of the acting president to appoint a constitutional judge.

Late last year, the request for a provisional injunction to suspend the validity of the constitutional petition, which was filed to cancel the National Assembly's impeachment decision against President Yoon, was not accepted.

The trial ended without an original hearing because it did not meet the legal claim requirements.

The court judged that it was difficult to see any changes in legal relations or infringement of interests against a third party.

President Yoon is also dissatisfied with the fact that the hearing date has been set at once, right?

[Reporter]
Yes,

After the 2nd hearing preparation period ended last Friday,

The Constitutional Court has set the hearing date for President Yoon's impeachment trial at once, starting on the 14th and until the 5th hearing date.

Except for the holidays, it will be twice a week until the 4th of next month.

In response, President Yoon is protesting that the Constitutional Court unilaterally notified the court by designating the date without discussion with the lawyers.

Accordingly, we are considering submitting an application to change the hearing date.

He also said there will be a schedule for President Yoon to attend in person and express his opinion during the hearing period.

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