With the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit gaining momentum, the Constitutional Court also appears to be speeding up the judgment process.

Attention is focusing on whether President Yoon, who is in custody, will attend the impeachment hearing himself.

President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested, but according to the right to claim a trial guaranteed by the Constitution, he can directly participate in the impeachment trial in consultation with the investigative agency.President Yoon

emphasized guaranteeing the right to participate, saying, "Let the president say everything he wants to say, so he is likely to appear in custody before or after the indictment."

[Bae Jin-han / Representative of President Yoon Suk Yeol (last 16th): Please let the president leave without regret after he leaves after he can say anything he wants to prove..]

However, some observers say that President Yoon's side will not actually come out.

They say they may be escorted to the Constitutional Court in custody, or they may feel burdened by answering at the court.

Even if President Yoon does not attend the hearing, it is possible to proceed with the process itself.

This is because President Yoon did not appear at the first trial due to concerns about personal safety, and according to the Constitutional Court law, he can proceed with the argument through 14 agents without any parties.

The Constitutional Court, which sets the judgment date twice a week, seems to be speeding up the judgment, saying it will hold a full-day hearing from 10 a.m. on the 6th of next month.

There have been two previous presidential impeachment trials, but the president has never attended the hearing himself.Attention is focusing on whether President

Yoon will be the first president to plead in the impeachment trial while in custody.
