Please summarize the final position of the Constitutional Court in detail.

[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court has announced that it will handle the documents related to the impeachment trial sent to President Yoon Suk Yeol in a "sending and delivery" manner.

To put it simply, even if it was not actually received, it would be considered to have been served in accordance with the Supreme Court precedent that the document takes effect when it arrives.

Since the 16th, the Constitutional Court has sent documents related to impeachment to President Yoon through an employee or express mail, but
None of the
was delivered due to the absence of the recipient or refusal to receive it from the security service.

The Constitutional Court explained that since the mail sent on the 19th arrived at the presidential residence on the 20th, it is believed that the service has been completed even if the documents were not received directly.

Then, until when do we submit the answer to the impeachment trial documents?

[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon has to submit a response to the documents related to the impeachment trial by the 27th.

This is because it has to be submitted within seven days from the date of receipt of the document, and the Constitutional Court explained that if the response does not come, the court will discuss the situation later.

The Constitutional Court also added that the preparation date for the first hearing on the 27th will continue as it is.

Likewise, if President Yoon does not attend, the court will decide the future process after seeing the situation.

The Constitutional Court asked me to submit other documents such as the minutes of the State Council at the time of martial law, but what happens to this part?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court asked the government to submit data by tomorrow (24th), including the decree announced at the time of the emergency martial law and the minutes of the cabinet meeting before and after the declaration, but President Yoon has not responded.

This is because the deadline remains the same.

If President Yoon does not send the document by tomorrow, the Constitutional Court has decided to decide how to deal with it after further discussion.

Compared to the impeachment cases of former Presidents Roh Moo-hyun and Park Geun-hye, which were heard by the Constitutional Court, this is the first time that they have suffered from the delivery process.Critics point out that President Yoon's successive refusal of documents

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

So far, I'm YTN Kwon Junsu at the Constitutional Court.
