The Constitutional Court will hold the second hearing preparation date for the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol this afternoon (3rd).

We are planning to begin a full-fledged case hearing, such as arranging the issues of the impeachment prosecution.

There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Kwon Junsu!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's the Constitutional Court.

[Anchor]
The National Assembly and President Yoon will be present again today, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

The second hearing preparation period will be held from 2 p.m. today.

The Constitutional Court submitted a response and evidence on the 2nd after the first hearing preparation date,
President
Yoon also explained that there was an additional power of attorney and response this morning.

The Constitutional Court reportedly requested the Central Election Commission to submit CCTV footage and other data on the day of the emergency martial law.

We are also checking basic facts by requesting investigation data from the prosecution and the police.

Today, the court heard President Yoon's objection to the reasons for impeachment submitted by the National Assembly,

It is expected to start a full-fledged hearing by setting an additional preparation date for the third round of preparation or designating a pleading date.

The two newly appointed constitutional judges are also looking into the case, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Constitutional Court Justices Cho Han-chang and Jeong Gye-seon, who took office on the 1st, were also put into the hearing of President Yoon's case.

In the future, it seems that the focus will be on the issues of the impeachment trial and the arrangement of evidence.

Although one of the nine seats is still empty, the Constitutional Court seems to have established psychological reliability and legitimacy as it has an eight-member system instead of six.

Next Monday, Moon Hyung-bae, acting head of the Constitutional Court, convened a meeting of judges.

At the first meeting of judges in the eight-member system, they are expected to share their perceptions on the situation related to the impeachment trial.

[Anchor]
Now, attempts to execute arrest warrants are continuing, but will it affect the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial if President Yoon is arrested?

[Reporter]
First of all, the Constitutional Court said that no changes were scheduled, such as the date of pleading,

There is no official position on whether President Yoon will be arrested.It is known that President Yun

is considering the application for challenge against the two judges appointed this time.

In response, the Constitutional Court explained that although there are relevant regulations, the court will decide whether to cite them.

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