"Why is it difficult to judge Gojeong?" A rare scene was shown at the Jeju District Court on Monday morning, when the first official trial of Goh Jung-jeong, 36, detained for murdering her ex-husband, was held.

Ko's first trial in the court is scheduled for 10:00 am, but in front of the court, more than 150 citizens and interviewees are trying to get a ticket.

It was crowded with citizens to participate in Ko's trial from the front of the court on 20F on the second floor where Ko's trial will be held to the entrance to the back gate of the Jeju Regional Law on the first floor.

Ko's trial proceeds by distributing the right to observing on a first-come, first-served basis.

Citizens competed for the rest of the room except for seats that were previously assigned to lawyers and reporters, including victims' families and lawyers.

Mr. Kim (38, Samyang-dong, Jeju-si), who came to court to see Ko's trial, said, "I waited at the Jeju District Court from 5:30 am to see Mr. Ko's trial." "I'm angry with Mr. Ko's behavior that doesn't show any sign of reflection."

Jeong Mo (74, Yongdam-dong, Jeju City) said, "I have come to see how Goyujeong lies."
Due to the first-come, first-served hearing, there were gaps between citizens and the court who could not enter the court.

Citizens complained, "I've come down from the land and waited since dawn, but I can't let a few people go in."

As Ko was the first to show his face at trial, the heat of coverage was also hot.

Mr. Ko did not attend the trial preparation meeting held last month.

There is no obligation for the defendant to attend the trial, but Ko must appear on the day because he is obliged to attend the formal trial.

This was just two months after Mr. Ko appeared before the media on June 12 when he was sent to the prosecution.

As the public's attention focused, Mr. Ko's expressions and actions, which first appeared in the courtroom, were all concerns, and the heat of coverage was hot.

The survivors, including the victim's parents and younger brother, entered the court about 8:50 am on that day.

The victims' families met in front of the Jeju District Law had a calm face, but the tension and anger were as strong as Ko's first trial.

The victim's brother said, "If Ko still insists on contingency crime at the trial on this day, I don't think there's room for normal work."
