The National Assembly's legal representatives, who impeached President Yoon Seok-yeol, said on the 4th, "I hope the Constitutional Court reaches an obvious and clear conclusion that aligns with the common sense of the sovereign."

The National Assembly announced this in a press release distributed to the media before attending the impeachment trial ruling day for President Yoon.

The National Assembly said, "At the first preparation session on Dec. 27 last year, I stated that there is sufficient evidence to prove the grounds for impeachment in this case, the unconstitutionality and illegality of those grounds are serious and clear, therefore a swift decision for removal is only natural."

It added, "When politics and society are sharply divided and conflicts have deepened, the Constitutional Court's decision has stopped the confusion and restored peace in the name of the Constitution," and noted, "Now is the time again for the Constitutional Court's decision."

It continued, "What the people desire is not the creation of extraordinary legal principles." The National Assembly stated, "With a strong belief in the Constitutional Court and the sincere wishes of the citizens, we now enter the courtroom."
