The National Assembly appeared on the second hearing of President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment trial, which begins shortly.

Let's go to the Constitutional Court.

[Song Doo-hwan / Representative of the National Assembly]
Today is the second day of pleading in the presidential impeachment trial.

It is expected that a substantial argument will be made on this date regardless of the attendance of the respondent, President Yoon Suk Yeol.

44 days and a month and a half have passed since the respondent suddenly declared emergency martial law on December 3 last year and carried out various acts of national constitution.

As the respondent denied the validity of the arrest warrant issued by the Korean court and blocked its execution by force, the investigation was not conducted, and as a result, the crisis in the country, including political and social chaos, division of public opinion, and economic instability, was seriously deepening.

Meanwhile, an arrest warrant was executed for the respondent yesterday, and the investigation was opened.

With this, I believe that conditions have been prepared to resolve the crisis of the constitutional order caused by the respondent's actions as soon as possible in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Constitution and laws.

Our impeachment representatives will continue to make full preparations under any circumstances and circumstances so that a quick and appropriate impeachment decision can be made.
