The Constitutional Court has decided to conduct a witness examination of former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun on the 23rd, the fourth hearing date.

Shin Jae-hyun, a public information officer at the Constitutional Court, said at a regular briefing today (17th) that the judge's review was conducted at the request of President Yoon Suk Yeol and that the decision was made.

In addition, Kim Hyun-tae, head of the 707 Special Committee, was also adopted among the witnesses that President Yoon applied for and decided to proceed with the interrogation on the 6th of next month.

The Constitutional Court explained that if a arrested witness does not appear without justification in the upcoming interrogation, sanctions such as imprisonment and fines can be imposed under the Constitutional Court law, and recruitment can be made through judgment rules.

The Constitutional Court also adopted an additional application for the request of President Yoon to transmit documents to secure documents related to the NEC's security inspection held by the presidential office, the National Intelligence Service, and the National Cyber Safety Center.
