Opposition party "isn't in the first place"...The ruling party focuses on acting as the 'president'
"151 people based on the prime minister" vs. "200 people based on the president"
Han Deok-soo's impeachment bill passed the plenary session of the National Assembly.
The opposition party further demanded the arrest of the president, and the ruling party insisted on invalidating the source, saying the passing standards were wrong.

Please organize the results of the vote in detail.

192 people voted and participated, and all 192 people voted for it.
A majority of the registered lawmakers, that is, more than 151 out of 300 lawmakers, have been satisfied.
Earlier, the ruling and opposition parties could not reach an agreement on whether the conditions for passing the impeachment bill were 151 or 200.
The Democratic Party argued that Han Deok-soo should apply the standard of prime minister, while the ruling party argued that it should be viewed as a presidential position.
This is because the president has stricter impeachment requirements than other ordinary civil servants, requiring the consent of at least 200 people.
Chairman Woo Won-sik eventually ruled in favor of the Democratic Party's logic.
Chairman Woo comprehensively reviewed the opinions of the Constitutional Academia and the Legislative Investigation Agency, and emphasized that the chairman has the authority to make decisions in the National Assembly under the National Assembly Act, so let's listen to the remarks.

The ruling party, after all, plans to seek judgment from the Constitutional Court, right?

Yes, a little while ago, he said in a party announcement that he filed a request for a power dispute trial regarding the impeachment bill and a provisional injunction request to stop its effect until the results are released.
The reason for impeachment itself does not meet constitutional requirements, and the ruling party's right to deliberate and vote was violated because the Democratic Party and the chairman interpreted the quorum at will.
Earlier, the ruling party strongly protested around the chairman's seat, shouting "nullity of source" and "resigning the chairman" when chairman Woo Won-sik declared that he would apply the "over-revolving" standard.
After that, he held a condemnation contest at the Rotender Hall of the National Assembly and accused the Democratic Party of doing anything for Lee Jae-myung, whether he was anarchic or not.
He also claimed that the impeachment bill, which failed to meet two-thirds of the votes in favor, was invalid, so let's listen to the remarks.

However, there was also a departure from the party despite the decision not to vote on the "no vote" party.
Cho Kyung-tae said he voted in favor of YTN reporters, and Kim Sang-wook said he missed the opportunity to vote due to the situation.
Immediately after the plenary session, the Democratic Party also held a denunciation contest named "Yoon Suk Yeol, the leader of the civil war."
Democratic Party lawmakers demanded the arrest of Yoon based on the prosecution's special investigation headquarters' announcement that Yoon ordered the lawmakers to be pulled out even by shooting during martial law, and also demanded the resignation of floor leader Kwon Sung-dong.
