I'm connecting with a reporter for more information. Reporter Kim Dahyun!

The Constitutional Court didn't accept President Yoon's request to change the date?

[Reporter]
That's right.

President Yoon Suk Yeol's side was found to have asked the Constitutional Court to change the second hearing date of the impeachment trial yesterday, when he was arrested by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.It is known that President Yoon

said that attending the Constitutional Court trial is a kind of right that should be guaranteed as a party, and that if the Constitutional Court opens its argument while the party is in custody, it violates the right.

However, after discussion, the Constitutional Court decided not to accept the application and notified President Yoon of the rejection by phone this morning.

Without giving a specific reason, the Constitutional Court explained that the court seemed to think it was not a reason to change the date.

Then, how will today's first defense proceed?

[Reporter]
Today is the second anniversary, so in principle, you can proceed with the trial even if only your representative is present without President Yoon.

The pleadings will be held at 2 p.m. today at the grand jury.

Today's defense will be conducted by the National Assembly, the claimant, stating the summary of the impeachment and the president of Yoon Suk Yeol expressing his opinion against it.

In addition, it is expected to check the previously submitted evidence and decide whether to adopt witnesses.

President Yoon submitted an additional response to the Constitutional Court, right?

[Reporter]
Correct.
It is known that President
Yoon Suk Yeol submitted a second response to the effect that the decree No. 1 announced at the time of the emergency martial law was written incorrectly by former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun.

The answer reportedly said that the decree No. 1 was a copy of the example sentence when former Minister Kim had the right to dissolve the National Assembly to the former president.

It is also known that he/she explained that he/she was trying to proceed peacefully and quickly with all the procedures and terminate them at the time of the resolution to dissolve the National Assembly, but he/she inadvertently overlooked the mistake of the phrase.It was also found that President

Yoon recently submitted an additional power of attorney.

Six people were newly named, including Kim Hong-il, former chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, former Prosecutor General Jung Sang-myung, and former Constitutional Judge Cho Dae-hyun.
