President Yoon Suk Yeol, who refuses to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, will attend the impeachment trial at the Constitutional Court today (21st).

It is the first time in constitutional history that an incumbent president appears in his impeachment trial.

Reporter Kwon Min-seok's report.

On the 18th, President Yoon Suk Yeol, who went out for the first time on the 18th, will go out of the detention center again after three days.

To attend his impeachment trial at the Constitutional Court at 2 p.m. today.

Initially, it was likely that former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun would appear at the Constitutional Court on the 23rd when he would appear as a witness, but the timing of the full-fledged response was advanced.

The Constitutional Court was scheduled to investigate evidence, including CCTV footage, released by the National Assembly in the third hearing today, but if President Yoon appears, he is likely to hear the statement in person.President

Yoon is expected to emphasize the legitimacy of emergency martial law through his 'self-defense' and reiterate that he did not intend to neutralize the National Assembly.President Yun

said that if possible, the president plans to attend the impeachment trial of the Constitutional Court.

Former Presidents Roh Moo Hyun and Park Geun Hye have never appeared in the Constitutional Court's judgment.

However, President Yoon decided to attend in a surprise move, making it the first case of constitutional history.

However, there are many criticisms that the suspect of rebellion is choosing the judicial system at will, as he has stubbornly refused to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and only participates in the impeachment trial.President

Yoon will head to the Constitutional Court in a convoy of the Ministry of Justice as he did during the warrant review.
