In particular, there are growing questions about who will pay for the defense and who will be the subject.
Some observers say that the president's duties are suspended, but that it may be paid by the national budget because he is still a sitting president, but
The prevailing view is that since it is an impeachment against the president of Yoon Suk Yeol
, this cost will be borne by the president himself.
Former Presidents Roh Moo Hyun and Park Geun Hye, who had previously been impeached, are also known to have personally paid for the attorney's fees,
However, the remuneration of the lawyers of the National Assembly who claim impeachment is paid by the national budget.
At the time of the impeachment trial of former President Park Geun Hye, 16 representatives of the National Assembly were reportedly paid 165 million won in compensation,
Similar remuneration is expected in this impeachment trial as per precedent.
Lawyers for President Yoon Suk Yeol seem to have joined a large number of former officials.
In particular, as a fierce legal battle is expected over the crime of rebellion, the cost of President Yoon himself is expected to be high.
