The first formal hearing of President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment trial is just a week away.

The Constitutional Court judges will hear from both sides after arranging the issues of the impeachment trial.

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

The pleading period will begin on the 14th, right?

[Reporter]
That's right. President Yoon's formal hearing on the impeachment trial is a week away.

Until the preparation date, it was a meeting to discuss future trial procedures, but from the date of pleading, the two sides will have a fierce battle in earnest.

The National Assembly and President Yoon's respective applications for witnesses will be questioned, and the evidence submitted will be examined.

The court declared emergency martial law and declared martial law, which are grounds for impeachment, and obstructed the National Assembly by mobilizing military and police,

And we will look into whether there were any violations in the process of seizure and search of the Central Election Commission without a warrant.

To this end, the court began the process of confirming the overall facts of the martial law incident after securing the investigation records of the prosecution and the police.

The first impeachment trial of former Acting President Han Deok-soo will also be held on the eve of President Yoon's first hearing?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court seems to be speeding up the case of former acting Han Deok-soo.

The first hearing preparation date has been set at 4 p.m. on the 13th, a day before President Yoon's hearing date.

At that time, the impeachment bill was approved by the Prime Minister's standard, which is not the standard applied to the president by the National Assembly, that is, the majority of the registered members, leading to controversy.

If the Constitutional Court rejects the case of former acting Han's impeachment trial on the grounds of lack of quorum,
The legitimacy of the appointment of Acting President Choi Sang-mok, the successor of
will also be affected.

Tomorrow, the preparation date for the second round of impeachment hearings will also be held against the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection Choi Hae-jin and the chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Lee Chang-soo.Not only the

Yoon case, but also the other impeachment trials that have been filed are being carried out one by one.

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