The Constitutional Court will hold its first formal hearing on President Yoon Suk Yeol on the 14th.

The Constitutional Court is expected to hold trials twice a week to continue its march, and attention is being paid to when the final sentence will be issued.

Reporter Baek Jong-gyu reports.

The Constitutional Court has announced five impeachment trials for President Yoon Suk Yeol in advance.

The first hearing date was held on the 14th, and the second trial was held two days later.

The 4th and 5th of next month have been decided in advance, and the pleading process will be held twice a week every Tuesday and Thursday except for the holidays.

The Constitutional Court has a firm position that the impeachment trial of President Yoon is not unusually fast.

The case of former President Roh Moo Hyun took 18 days from receiving the case to pleading, and the case of former President Park Geun Hye took 25 days, and the case of President Yoon took 31 days.

The concern is when the final sentence will be issued.The Constitutional Court may guarantee a sufficient number of arguments if the President attends the Constitutional Court's hearing and calls for a fair trial, as President

Yoon has vowed.

Former President Park Geun Hye also went through 17 hearings, and the conclusion was reached 91 days after receiving the case.

Some cautiously raise the prospect that similar to former President Park, the defense will be concluded in early March and sentenced at the end of March.

However, it is a variable that President Yoon and the ruling camp ask for a 180-day trial period.

It is a so-called speed control theory, but opposition parties are confronting that the Constitutional Court should issue a sentence as soon as possible given that the three confrontations between the two sides of impeachment are intensifying and political unrest is prolonged.
