Yoon facing two simultaneous trials as detention continues

Now onto the latest on the martial law saga.

Starting this week, President Yoon faces two trials: his impeachment trial and a criminal one.

Let's head to Seoul Detention Center where he is currently being held.

Do-yeon, what is the scene like there, and walk us through what President Yoon has in store this week.

Good morning Dami, as you said I'm standing in front of Seoul Detention Center where President Yoon has been detained since mid-January and could be for another six months during his trials.

At the moment, you only see a handful of protesters here right now with speaker equipment for protests being set up.

But you can see that there is heavy security with the police officers and buses on site.

As for President Yoon's schedule this week he's set to head to the Constitutional Court on Tuesday and Thursday for his trial.

Some key witnesses are set to be at the Court with him then.

To be exact, key military personnel will take the witness stand who can testify to Yoon's orders during the declaration and the brief execution of martial law.

They include Yeo In-hyeong, former chief of the Defense Counterintelligence Command and others.

NIS Chief Cho Tae-yong and the National Security Advisor Shin Won-shik have also been asked to appear as witnesses by Yoon's legal team.

Now, this is not the only trial Yoon is facing.

His criminal trial also has begun and this means he could be appearing at two different courts three times a week.

And because of this Yoon's legal team requested the Constitutional Court to stop the review of his impeachment motion as there is a criminal case going on for the same reason his declaration of martial law.

According to Article 51 of the Constitutional Court Act this is a possibility.

Meanwhile, the legal team is also looking at requesting bail for President Yoon to have him released during the trials.

Now, Do-yeon, while the legal team may try to get President Yoon out of detention, he is allowed to receive visitors.

Who's making their way to the detention center?

That's right Dami, in fact the leadership of the ruling People Power Party is set to visit here in less than an hour.

Yesterday during a press conference, floor leader Kwon Seong-dong said he would be joined by the PPP's interim chair Kwon Young-se during his visit at 11 AM.

This is the first time the two top leaders of the party have visited President Yoon.

While they did receive criticism from both within and outside of the party Kwon made it clear that it is a personal visit.

He said the point isn't to discuss the ongoing trial or the political scene but to show support for an old friend.

That's all for now, back to you Dami.
