President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has consistently refused to investigate the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office, is the only president who has been impeached to attend the Constitutional Court in person.
They say they will continue to attend in the future, but it seems that various counting methods have worked.
Above all, it is mentioned that there is an opportunity to attend a public trial and appeal directly to public opinion in the context of arrest.

Lawyers also expressed their willingness to use a two-track strategy that the president directly explains about the purpose of emergency martial law.
It is analyzed that the background of this defense mainly mentioned the allegations of fraudulent elections, which were contained in handwritten letters along with recorded videos several times.

The impeachment proceedings will be held twice a week until mid-February.
In particular, it seems that if the messages prepared here continue to be released, it can draw public attention.
However, in the case of the allegations of fraudulent elections, which have been intensively raised this time, there is still a possibility that the decisive grounds will affect the impeachment trial.
