On-point: Will Constitutional Court rule on the impeachment of President Yoon this week?
Sentences Mode

As we just heard in the previous report, South Korea's constitutional court is expected to soon rule on whether to approve or reject the National Assembly's motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol.

For more on this, we're joined by attorney An Jun-seong.

Mr. An, thanks for joining us this morning.

1. Why is it taking longer than expected for the Constitutional Court to make its final ruling on President Yoon?

2. Some say there's a possibility that the court is taking time to make a 'unanimous' decision. What's your take on this?

3. When can we expect the court to make the final ruling? Could it be later this week?

4. The court recently dismissed eight out of 13 motions to impeach state officials. Could this affect the verdict on the president in any way?

5. Could you briefly explain to our viewers what happens after the ruling? (Will he be immediately removed from office if the court rules against Yoon? And what happens if the court rules for the president?)

Alright. I'm afraid that's all the time we have for this morning.

Thank you so much for your insight. We appreciate it.
