Yes, Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon Suk Yeol, said this morning in an official position that President Yoon will not be able to attend the first hearing of the impeachment trial on the 14th.

The lawyers said, 'The high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office and the police's national investigation headquarters continue to attempt to execute illegal arrest warrants for President Yoon.'
President
explained that he cannot guarantee his personal safety and that he is concerned about an accident.

The validity of the warrant for President Yoon's arrest, which was reissued on the 7th, is known to be more than two weeks.

The president seems to have considered the fact that he could be exposed to the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit after attending the first hearing of the impeachment trial on the 14th.

The lawyers said the president will attend the constitutional trial at the right time, but

First of all, personal safety and security issues must be resolved, he added.

Earlier, the Constitutional Court decided to hold a total of five trials by the 16th, 21st, 23rd, and 4th of next month after starting its first hearing on the 14th.

With the president deciding not to come out, the first hearing is likely to remain idle,
It is expected that full-fledged procedures such as evidence investigation will begin from the 16th of this month.
