President Yoon Suk Yeol actively expressed his position during his first appearance at the impeachment hearing.

In his remarks before the start of the trial, he called himself a man of solid liberal democratic convictions.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President] Let me be brief because I am present for the first time today. I am sorry to the judges for making you suffer again from my impeachment case when you are working heavily due to various constitutional lawsuits. I have lived in public office ever since I grew up and have lived firmly with one belief of liberal democracy. As the Constitutional Court is also an institution that exists to protect the Constitution, I ask our judges to take a good look at it in many ways. I'll let you know if I need any questions or situations. Thank you.
