The lawyers explained that President Yoon Suk Yeol was the best lawyer in the past and that he would express his position in the impeachment court.

Yoon Suk Yeol's lawyers have said they will respond to the three-pronged investigation, trial and impeachment trial in the future.
Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer who has been an advisor for 40 years, admitted that emergency martial law caused a social shock, but
There is no purpose of extortion or rebellion, and it is not a riot, stressing that 'insurrection' cannot be established.
He also explained that the nature of the investigation into the rebellion and the impeachment trial are different, and that a separate defense team will be formed to respond.
In the meantime, he said that since President Yoon was the best lawyer before taking office, he expects to express his position in the impeachment court.There is a possibility that President
Yoon will go to the Constitutional Court himself and make his own argument.President
Yoon also compared the current situation to the situation of former President Park Geun Hye eight years ago.Former president
Park was investigated by prosecutors after his impeachment was sentenced and did not appear in criminal trials and impeachment trials, but
As President Yoon directly expressed his willingness to participate, it is difficult to conduct an investigation, trial, and impeachment trial at the same time.President
Yoon's side is expected to deny the crime of rebellion itself during the investigation and build a defense strategy by explaining the political background that led to the decision on martial law in the impeachment court.
