President Yoon Suk Yeol's second impeachment vote to hold emergency martial law accountable will take place today.
It has been a week since the first impeachment bill was scrapped due to the absence of the People's Power lawmakers.
[Jung Myung-ho / Director of the National Assembly(13th): 190 people proposed the impeachment of the presidential Yoon Suk Yeol]
The impeachment bill is 44 pages long, more than 50% more than the first impeachment.
The main charge of rebellion against President Yoon was suggested, and it included the occupation of the Central Election Commission by martial law forces and attempts to arrest major politicians, including lawmakers.
Political content such as biased diplomatic controversy and abuse of veto power, which were pointed out as inappropriate reasons for impeachment in the previous impeachment, were omitted.

{계}The martial law incident' alone is also interpreted as confidence that impeachment is sufficient.
Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, said it will be a "people's victory day" and appealed for members of the People's Power to join the impeachment motion.
[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader (13th): What you have to protect is neither Yoon Suk Yeol nor the power of the people. It's the people who are crying right now in the cold streets, and it's their lives.]
The opposition party plans to hold a third vote next Saturday if the impeachment bill is scrapped or rejected again this time.
If passed, it is expected that an impeachment committee will be formed immediately to prepare for the Constitutional Court hearing.
