Please tell us the situation of the Constitutional Court first.

[Reporter]
With the appointment of Jeong Gye-seon and Constitutional Judge Cho Han-chang, the Constitutional Court has an eight-member system from the existing six-member system.

It is not the full nine-member body that the Constitutional Court has been urging, but

.

Impeachment of the President can be decided by more than six judges.

Even at the time of former President Park Geun Hye, impeachment was unanimously sentenced in the eight-member system.
