Yes, it's the Constitutional Court.

President Yoon applied for a change of the date yesterday, but the deputies ended up on trial, right?
[Reporter]
That's right.
The president of Yoon Suk Yeol asked the Constitutional Court to change the date of the second impeachment hearing yesterday, when he was arrested by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
Appearing at the Constitutional Court trial is a kind of right that must be guaranteed as a party, and it is reported that he was cited for being detained.
However, today's defense is proceeding as scheduled as the Constitutional Court has decided not to accept the application after discussion.
Accordingly, President Yoon's representatives attended the Constitutional Court.
Journalists asked a lot of questions, but Bae Jin-han, the lawyer, declined to say, saying that if he saw the defense in person, he would be curious about everything.

What is being covered in today's defense?
[Reporter]
Today's defense will be conducted by the National Assembly stating the summary of the prosecution and President Yoon's opinion on this.
In addition, we will proceed with the collection of evidence and investigate the adopted evidence.
First, the National Assembly explained the reasons for the prosecution with issues such as declaring emergency rules, blocking and breaking into the National Assembly, breaking into the Central Election Commission, declaring a decree, and ordering judges to be arrested and detained.
President Yoon claimed that he violated the Constitution by declaring martial law that did not meet the requirements at all, saying that it is an "emergency martial law" to allow concentration of power similar to dictatorship in an emergency.
Now, the president's statement of opinion is underway, and he is expected to emphasize that declaring martial law is the president's authority.

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.President Yun
also submitted a response stating that the National Assembly's impeachment prosecution was illegal and that he had no choice but to declare martial law due to the runaway opposition party.
