Two new judges are taking the inauguration and going to work in earnest?

[Reporter]
Yes, from 10 a.m., the inauguration ceremony of the new Constitutional Court Judge Cho Han-chang will be held in the grand auditorium of the Constitutional Court.

The terms of the two judges, which already began yesterday (1st), will be until December 31, 2030.

The Constitutional Court has been hearing cases under a "six-member system" in which one-third of the nine justices are vacant,

The controversy over the referee quorum has also been resolved by filling seven psychological quorum with the 'eight-person system' in about two months.

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

The new judges will immediately start reviewing the impeachment case of President Yoon, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the new justices will be informed of the progress of cases pending in the Constitutional Court, including the case of President Yoon's impeachment trial, from today.

As it is reported that the judge's review is not scheduled separately today, it is expected that each case will continue to be reviewed.

The preparation date for the second hearing of President Yoon's impeachment trial is scheduled tomorrow.

Earlier, at the first preparatory date held on the 27th of last month, five reasons for impeachment included in the impeachment motion were summarized into four categories:

The Constitutional Court will listen to President Yoon's opinion on this at tomorrow's date and further summarize the issue of the case.

In addition, it is possible that President Yoon's specific position on the reasons for impeachment will be disclosed for the first time in court.

In addition, the Constitutional Court is expected to continue discussions with representatives of both sides on the application for submission of data to be requested from witnesses or external agencies to be called on the date of pleading.
The National Assembly asked the Constitutional Court to commission investigative documents from investigative agencies and applied for 15 witnesses in the first preparation period, and it is expected to be decided whether to adopt them or not.

The Constitutional Court is expected to enter a full-fledged defense after several more preparatory days.
