President Yoon Suk Yeol has just arrived at the Constitutional Court. This is the first time the president will attend the impeachment trial in person. There is a reporter for our YTN legal team at the Constitutional Court. Youngsoo Kim, please pass on reporter Shin Ji-won.

The Constitutional Court will continue to update you on President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment trial. As you can see on the screen, President Yoon Suk Yeol has arrived at the Constitutional Court. I left from Seoul Detention Center by the Ministry of Justice's convoy at around 12:50 p.m. I arrived at the Constitutional Court around 1:10. The president of Yoon Suk Yeol was in a convoy, and the security vehicle was able to be seen guarding him around it.It was about 30km away from

, but it took about 20 minutes. Traffic was controlled and we arrived at the Constitutional Court in about 20 minutes. There were many predictions that they would go to the underground parking lot, but in fact, President Yoon Suk Yeol's vehicle went underground. As you can see on the screen, Yoon Suk Yeol's president entering the Constitutional Court was not caught on camera by photographers. Maybe they put these things on security for security reasons. Isn't the security around the Constitutional Court strengthened a lot? Reporter Shin Ji-won, can you explain?

[Reporter]
That's right. Currently, a considerable number of police personnel are deployed outside and inside the Constitutional Court. It looks like a police bus completely surrounded the Constitutional Court. Even though reporters went back and forth to the road outside the main gate of the Constitutional Court to check the scene, they went through the process of walking to Anguk Station about three or four times. I had to check both the entrance to the Constitutional Court and the status of a reporter. That's how much the police are controlling it. News that police task forces near the Constitutional Court are wearing body protection suits in case of an emergency was also confirmed by reporters on the scene.

[Reporter]
We continue to show you the situation of the underground parking lot, and the vehicle appeared to be entering the building. As the anchors pointed out earlier, even after arriving after being arrested by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the scene of President Yoon getting out of the car was only briefly exposed. But this time, I think I saw the vehicle go inside the building. We'll check this out a little more. Perhaps it could be seen as the president trying to source his exposure to the camera. Today, the President of Yoon Suk Yeol will appear in person on the third day of the impeachment trial. Earlier, President Yoon did not attend the first hearing, so it ended in four minutes. The second proper hearing date was on the 16th. Today is the third day of pleading. The news that the president will attend was delivered in a hurry, reporter Shin Ji-won. What do you think?

[Reporter]
That's right. At around 9:55 p.m. last night, President Yoon Suk Yeol announced his intention to attend the Constitutional Court directly through his delegation. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit started the forced recruitment process by 9 p.m., but the agents seem to have delivered their opinions to the Constitutional Court after the investigation team of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit withdrew. Immediately after that, President Yoon announced his intention to attend, the Constitutional Court suddenly received a notice of attendance and discussed the movement and security situation with the Presidential Security Service this morning. President Yoon has been saying for quite some time that he will go out when the time is right, and after the arrest warrant is issued, he has expressed his position that he will attend once concerns about personal safety or mishaps are resolved. However, yesterday and today, he expressed his intention not only to attend, but also to continue to attend every hearing date as much as possible. Since he is an incumbent president, consultations are needed on security issues, but the Constitutional Court said that the right to maintain order will be exercised even within the judgment.

[Reporter]
We continue to show you the underground parking lot of the Constitutional Court a while ago. In fact, reporters also inquired several times to check President Yoon's movement, but they said they could not disclose it for security reasons, but reporters' cameras caught the car carrying President Yoon going inside the building in the underground parking lot. Since it is an impeachment trial against the president, attention can be focused on every day of the hearing. However, today is more meaningful because it is the first time to appear in public since President Yoon declared martial law. I've made a number of statements, but they're all prerecorded ready videos. Therefore, it is the first time in 49 days that I have come to a public place to speak since martial law was declared on December 3rd last year.As President

Yoon sees it, there seems to have been a lot of intentions not to expose the arrest. Before the warrant review, President Yoon went out in person, and although he actively argued, he was moving to the underground parking lot. Today, as I said, it is meaningful that President Yoon's appearance was revealed for the first time. However, it's not being broadcast live. There is an opportunity for our reporters to enter for a minute or two just before the trial and capture the atmosphere of the trial with a camera. And after the trial, the entire video will be released to the media. The video filmed just before the previous trial is expected to be shown to viewers as soon as we secure it. There have been cases where the president has been tried for impeachment, but it's the first time he's come out in person, right, reporter Shin?

[Reporter]
That's right. It's the first time in the history of dedication. There has been no case of the president being impeached and coming directly to the Constitutional Court. Former President Roh Moo Hyun or former President Park Geun Hye was impeached earlier, but he has never appeared in a direct defense. All the agents came out on behalf of them to express their opinions on the impeachment proceedings. Today, President Yoon will have a chance to speak in person and explain the background of the declaration of emergency martial law. The Constitutional Court also explained at a press briefing this morning that the respondent could be given a chance to speak, and that the presiding judge could question President Yoon himself.

Originally, today was a place to investigate evidence, so the National Assembly was scheduled to investigate the minutes of the standing committee meeting at the plenary session. However, if President Yoon speaks directly today, it seems that it will be a variable in the trial flow. The president's lawyers also said in a statement a little while ago that the president himself explained why it was inevitable to declare emergency martial law. In the process, there will be comments on the opposition party, such as the opposition's impeachment and budget cuts.

President Yoon Suk Yeol departed from the Seoul Detention Center in a convoy of the Ministry of Justice at around 12:50 and arrived at the Constitutional Court at 1:11. I arrived a little while ago to attend the third hearing of the impeachment trial. As President Yoon has decided to attend the impeachment hearing in person, the president's movement is also accelerating little by little. It was reported that he expressed his intention to attend late last night, but he applied for about 24 witnesses at the same time. It mainly included the members of the State Council, former Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min, and then Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Choi Sang-mok. Impeached personnel, Board of Audit and Inspection Choi Hae-soo, and Korea Communications Commission Chairman Lee Jin-sook are also on the list of witnesses. And it is expected that the suspicion of fraudulent elections will be contested in the impeachment trial process in the future. So, NIS Director Cho Tae-yong and NEC officials have requested witnesses from the president. It is expected that the court will discuss this and decide whether to adopt it or not. Other than this, didn't you ask for documents from other agencies?

[Reporter]
That's right. It can be predicted how the president will fight for the impeachment trial in the future by looking at the target organizations that have asked for facts or documents as well as requesting witnesses. The Supreme Court, the Suwon High Court, and the National Police Agency have requested documents, and fact-finding agencies include the National Intelligence Service, the Board of Audit and Inspection, the World Council of Electoral Institutions, Paju City's NEC, and the Korea Communications Commission. In the future, it is expected that President Yoon will also examine the facts about the alleged fraudulent election, which he cited as the background of the declaration of martial law during the impeachment trial. In addition, it seems that the opposition-led impeachment prosecution and these parts are being questioned, but it remains to be seen whether the witness application will be adopted by the Constitutional Court.

[Reporter]
There are less than 20 minutes left until the third hearing. President Yoon Suk Yeol arrived early and is waiting for his attendance. As I explained earlier, there is an opportunity for reporters to go in and film the atmosphere for a minute or two just before the trial begins. The video is expected to be delivered as early as 2:05 to 10 minutes. So far, the Constitutional Court has delivered it. Sangam-dong studio, please come out.
