The court announced on the 18th that former President Yoon Suk-yeol will be able to go directly to the courtroom through the underground parking lot when he attends his second trial on the charge of 'insurrection leader' on the 21st. This means that, unlike the first trial on the 14th, former President Yoon will not have to stand on the photo line when entering the courtroom.
A representative from the Seoul High Court said, "The National Security Office requested that, when former President Yoon arrives at the court by vehicle, access to the underground parking lot be permitted, and this is expected to be allowed."
Meanwhile, the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Division 25 (Chief Judge Director General Ji Gwi-yeon), which is handling former President Yoon's case, permitted court photography during the trial on the 21st, unlike the first trial on the 14th. This was in response to a request from the court video press corps. Photography was not allowed in the courtroom during the first trial.
