Yes, it's the Constitutional Court.

The Constitutional Court will reveal its countermeasures today?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court will announce its response to President Yoon's continued refusal of documents at a briefing at 2 p.m. today.

Since the 16th, the Constitutional Court has sent constitutional officials or sent documents related to impeachment to President Yoon through the mail and electronic system.

However, it was difficult to deliver it due to the absence of the recipient or the refusal to receive it from the security service.

If the delivery of documents continues to be delayed, the first preparation date scheduled for this Friday will inevitably be disrupted.

As a result, the Constitutional Court has been considering countermeasures by opening up methods that it considers to have been legally served regardless of the situation of the parties.

[Anchor]
It is unusual for a party to not receive the documents itself in an impeachment trial like this, right?

[Reporter]
Correct.

The Constitutional Court has even filed seven impeachment cases this year, including Lee Chang-soo, the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, with Sohn Joon-sung's impeachment, which has yet to be concluded.

The Constitutional Court said it recently remembered nothing about the precedent in which the respondent was not served the documents in the impeachment trial.

Compared to the presidential impeachment case heard by the Constitutional Court earlier, this is the first time that the service has been difficult.

In the case of former President Roh Moo Hyun, he was served the documents the day after the impeachment was passed and four days later, he also submitted a power of attorney and an opinion.

Former President Park Geun Hye was also served with a notice of receipt from the Constitutional Court on the day of approval, and a week later, he issued a power of attorney and a reply.

Delivery of documents such as a notice of receipt means that the trial will begin legally.Doubts are also growing that President Yoon's successive refusal of documents

may prevent him from even starting the impeachment trial on purpose.
