President Yoon Suk Yeol has not received documents related to the impeachment trial of the Constitutional Court nor a request for attendance from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Regarding the ongoing investigation and impeachment trial, let's hear from lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who advised the president's lawyers on their position.

[Seok Donghyun / Lawyer]
In the National Assembly, it has been less than 10 days since the president's impeachment was voted on by the National Assembly. In that sense, why the Constitutional Court is in such a hurry. May the process proceed with sufficient preparation in its own way, hoping that this important issue will be dealt with faithfully in the impeachment court. There is absolutely no such idea as dragging your feet or avoiding procedures. I think that's the position. In this regard, the process will proceed in the near future. I think that's what you think.

[Reporter]
Is there anything the president wants to say to the people or the media?

[Seok Donghyun / Lawyer]
There may be many, but I think there will be an opportunity to do that according to the procedure and the method.

[Reporter]
Can you say something about attendance?

[Seok Donghyun / Lawyer]
I'm not in a position to tell you about that, so I'll tell you this.

[Reporter]
Regarding the appointment of a lawyer by any chance.

[Seok Donghyun / Lawyer]
In general, lawyers are often told to go to court on the day the proceedings begin while sufficiently talking and preparing with the person who will be a lawyer. In other words, the conversation as a lawyer is not made only when the appointment of a lawyer is made to the court and to any institution. Isn't there any procedure, various judicial procedures, in the process of having a conversation with a lawyer-to-be and doing so? It's a senior citizen's job to make a bet on the same day.

[Reporter]
Regarding the request for attendance at the investigative agency.

[Seok Donghyun / Lawyer]
On that point, please wait until the defense comes out. It's hard to say...

[Reporter]
You said the Constitutional Court comes first, but even that part...

[Seok Donghyun / Lawyer]
The President, after all, this topic is not just a trial for any single accident. In the process of running state affairs to the extent that the president even declared martial law, he had a lot of thoughts and difficulties in the former, and came to the end of emergency martial law. Can't you think that this must have been a lot of anguish as the chief executive of state affairs?

Anyway, the constitution called the constitutional trial and the impeachment court on that part. The nation's top constitutional judges have gone through the process of public debate over this, as it has been, but I think it is necessary for the Constitutional Court to make a judgment on this situation where no president can work if someone continues to wield the club of impeachment in the process of forming the National Assembly every day. To that end, he will faithfully state his position as president. That's what I'm going to do confidently. What kind of closed space in front of an investigator...
