President Yoon Suk Yeol attended the impeachment trial of the Constitutional Court and denied all grounds for impeachment related to the emergency martial law.

He said he has never ordered lawmakers to be pulled out to interfere with the decision to lift martial law, nor has he delivered a budget note related to the emergency legislative body.

President Yoon Suk Yeol, who attended the third round of impeachment hearings in person, won the floor,
It completely denied allegations that martial law troops were deployed to prevent the
National Assembly's decision to lift martial law.

[President Yoon Suk Yeol] We made a very swift resolution that was not in line with the National Assembly law. But I saw it and immediately withdrew the military.

He also said the military officials' statements that they were told to bring down lawmakers were also wrong.

[President Yoon Suk Yeol] None.]

{President Yoon stressed that he had not ordered the arrest of former People's Power Representative Han Dong-hoon and National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik.

He reiterated that he did not try to paralyze the function of the National Assembly.

At the same time, he said he thought it would be untenable if he blocked the decision to lift martial law.

When asked if he had ever delivered a document to the acting president Choi Sang-mok to create an emergency legislative body,

[President Yoon Suk Yeol] The only person who can make this is the Secretary of Defense, but the Secretary of Defense was in custody at that time, so I couldn't confirm it specifically.]

He also seemed to pass on the responsibility to former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who conspired in advance for emergency martial law.
