I'm connecting with the reporter. reporter Jeong In-yong
Please share the atmosphere of the plenary session this morning, as well as the contents and procedures of President Yoon's impeachment.
[Reporter]
Yes, the impeachment of President Yoon, submitted by six opposition parties, including the Democratic Party, was reported at the plenary session at 0:48 a.m. today.
The reason for impeachment was that President Yoon violated the Constitution and the law by issuing it even though he did not meet the requirements of the "martial" to exercise in a national emergency.
As the National Assembly, the only martial law-controlled constitutional institution, attempted to mobilize the military and police to prevent it from working, it was also claimed that it was a crime of civil war under the criminal law.
This is the third attempt to impeach an incumbent president.
Following former President Roh Moo Hyun in March 2004, former President Park Geun Hye pushed for impeachment in December 2016.
Both were approved, but former President Roh was rejected by the Constitutional Court, and former President Park was dismissed for being impeached.
The impeachment bill can only be passed if at least 200 out of 300 lawmakers agree.
If all the lawmakers attend, the current number of pan-night seats is 192, which will be passed only when more than eight votes are cast from the ruling party.
Since the impeachment bill must be voted on within 72 hours after 24 hours after the plenary session's report, the vote is expected to take place at the plenary session as early as tomorrow (6th).

The reaction between the ruling and opposition parties over President Yoon's impeachment seems to be sharply divided.
Please organize the positions of the ruling and opposition parties.
[Reporter]
Yes, the power of the people, who continued to discuss the impeachment of President Yoon at the general meeting of the lawmakers until early this morning, has agreed to oppose the impeachment with party theory.
Once the date for voting in the plenary session of the impeachment bill is set, the National Assembly will also decide how to vote, including whether to boycott the vote or not.
In the first place, representative Han Dong-hoon avoided a definite answer when asked if he opposed the impeachment of President Yoon.
When asked if he agreed to oppose the impeachment, floor leader Choo Kyung-ho told reporters after the early morning parliamentary meeting, he stressed that he actually said so and delivered the results of the parliamentary meeting.
However, he did not answer the reason for opposing impeachment, saying he would say it later.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party said it was very sorry for the decision to oppose the People's Power Impeachment Party and expressed a strong protest.
Immediately after the plenary session this morning, Cho Seung-rae, the chief spokesman, established the day that the people's power declared that they would become a contributor to rebellion.
At the same time, he pointed out that President Yoon should look back on whether he is capable and qualified to run the state administration properly now.
Floor spokesman Kang Yoo-jung also stressed that there is a public desire to make President Yoon unable to perform his duties immediately due to fear and anxiety over emergency martial law.
If the impeachment bill is rejected, the power of the people will bear the burden of the people.
The Democratic Party of Korea plans to hold a plenary session at 10 a.m. today to handle the impeachment of three prosecutors, including Choi Hae-sa, chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and Lee Chang-soo, chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Today, the National Assembly will also hold urgent questions on pending issues.
Please also explain the relevant information.
[Reporter]
Yes, at 10 a.m. today, the National Defense Commission and the Public Administration and Security Commission will hold an urgent question about the circumstances of President Yoon's emergency martial law.
First of all, the National Defense Commission's attendance included Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and Army Chief of Staff Park An-soo, who was appointed as martial law commander.
The opposition party is expected to focus on asking President Park how she wrote the martial law decree, which stipulates the ban on political activities and media control.
As Minister Kim expressed his resignation to President Yoon yesterday (4th), it is unclear whether he will attend the meeting.
If Minister Kim attends, he will also question the background of proposing martial law to the president.
In an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, the Public Administration and Security Committee decided to call on Minister Lee Sang-min and Park Hyun-soo, the head of the Public Administration and Security Department.
In the police, Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and Seoul Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kim Bong-sik were asked to attend.
In addition to the National Assembly, the secretary-general of the Central Election Commission, where martial law troops entered, will also appear in the National Assembly.The police response that controlled the outskirts of the National Assembly immediately after President
Yoon's declaration of emergency martial law is expected to come under fire.
