The first formal hearing of President Yoon's impeachment trial begins tomorrow, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court will hold the first hearing of President Yoon's impeachment trial at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
A full-fledged hearing will begin exactly a month after the case was filed on the 14th of last month.
Constitutional judges' reviews are also held every week to determine specific directions for the hearing.
Starting tomorrow, the 16th and 21st, the 23rd and the 4th of the following month, all five pleading dates have been designated.
However, this does not end the whole hearing,
The Constitutional Court is expected to designate an additional date for pleading as soon as specific hearing plans, such as the list of witnesses to be questioned, are established.
The number of arguments is expected to be guaranteed as the political and civil society conflicts and divisions over impeachment have been severe recently, and President Yoon's side is strongly demanding a careful and faithful hearing.

President Yoon will not appear on tomorrow's anniversary?
[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon's deputies said that President Yoon will not attend tomorrow's hearing due to personal safety and security issues.
Lawyer Yoon Kap-geun blamed the investigation agency for continuing to execute illegal invalid arrest warrants in an illegal way.
The Constitutional Court Act requires parties to attend formal arguments, and if they do not attend, the date is set again, but if they do not appear here, a trial for absenteeism is also possible.
As a result, arguments are expected to begin this Thursday after only confirming the absence of the parties on tomorrow's deadline.
Earlier, the impeachment trial of former President Park Geun Hye ended in nine minutes after designating only the second hearing date due to the absence of the parties on the first hearing date.

The first preparation date for Prime Minister Han's impeachment trial has begun?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court will soon hold the first hearing of Prime Minister Han Deok-soo's impeachment trial.
In the preparation period for the hearing, the claimants and respondents will attend to organize the issues on the reasons for the impeachment and coordinate the evidence to be submitted with the witnesses to apply and the trial schedule.
Earlier, the National Assembly passed an impeachment motion against Prime Minister Han for aiding and abetting civil war during the emergency martial law crisis and refusing to appoint a constitutional judge.
The Constitutional Court is also expected to speed up the hearing of Prime Minister Han's case, as the ruling party and President Yoon insist on the issue of the quorum of approval and defects in the process of appointing two new judges.
So far, the Constitutional Court has delivered it.
